Author: Charlotte Elliott Appears in 559 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father, while I stray
Far from my home, on life's rough way,
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
"Thy will be done, thy will be done!"
2 What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved no longer nigh;
Submissive still would I replay,
"Thy will be done, thy will be done!"
3 If thou shouldst call me to resign
What most I prize, it ne'er was mine;
I only yield thee what was thine:
"Thy will be done, thy will be done!"
4 If but my fainting heart be blest
With thy sweet Spirit for its guest,
My God, to thee I leave the rest:
"Thy will be done, thy will be done!" Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Used With Tune: YORK
