- 1My Jesus, as Thou wilt!Oh, may Thy will be mine!Into Thy hand of loveI would my all resign;Through sorrow, or through joy,conduct me as Thine own,And help me still to say,my Lord, Thy will be done!
- 2My Jesus, as Thou wilt!If needy here and poor,Give me Thy people's bread,their portion rich and sure.The manna of Thy WordLet my soul feed upon;And if all else should fail,my Lord, thy will be done!
- 3My Jesus, as Thou wilt!Though seen through many'a tear,Let not my star of hopegrow dim or disappear;Since Thou on earth hast wept,and sorrowed oft alone,If I must weep with Thee,my Lord, Thy will be done!
- 4My Jesus, as Thou wilt!All shall be well for me;Each changing future sceneI gladly trust with Thee:Straight to my home aboveI travel calmly on,And sing, in life or death,my Lord, Thy will be done!
