Author: Charlotte Elliott Appears in 561 hymnals First Line: My God, my Father! while I stray Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father! while I stray
Far from my home, in life's rough way,
Oh! teach me from my heart to say
Thy will be done.
2 If thou couldst call me to resign
What most I prize it ne'er was mine
I only yield thee what was thine;
Thy will be done.
3 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.
4 Renew my will from day to day,
Blend it with thine, and take sway
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. Topics: Christian Experience; Afflictions; Christians Afflictions; Christians Disciplines; Christians Duties; Hope Under Afflictions; Afflictions; Christians Afflictions; Christians Disciplines; Christians Duties; Hope Under Afflictions Used With Tune: HERBERT
