First Line: My God, my Father, while I stray,

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 !
Thy will be done !
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
Thy will be done !

2 What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh,
Submissive still would I reply,
Thy will be done !

3 Let 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 !

4 Renew my will from day to day :
Blend it with Thine ; and take away
All now that makes it hard to say,
Thy will be done !

5 Then when on earth I breathe no more
The prayer oft mixed with tears before,
I’ll sing upon a happier shore,
Thy will be done !
