- 1My God, my Father, tho I strayFar from my home, on life's rough way,O teach me from my heart to say,“Thy will be done!”Tho dark my path, and sad my lot,Let me be still and murmur not,Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,“Thy will be done!”
- 2Renew my will from day to day;Blend it with thine, and take awayAll that now makes it hard to say,“Thy will be done!”Then, when on earth I breathe no moreThe prayer oft mixed with tears before,I'll sing upon a happier shore,”Thy will be done!”
