My God, my Father, while I stray

Verse 1

My God my Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life’s rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, “Thy will be done!”

Verse 2

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!”

Verse 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!”

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

AMEN.
