God's Will be Done.
Thy will be done! In devious way
The hurrying stream of life may run;
Yet still our grateful hearts shall say,
Thy will be done!
The hurrying stream of life may run;
Yet still our grateful hearts shall say,
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done! If o'er us shine
A gladdening and a prosperous sun,
This prayer will make it more divine—
Thy will be done!
A gladdening and a prosperous sun,
This prayer will make it more divine—
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done—though shrouded o'er
Our path with gloom; one comfort—one
Is ours—to breathe while we adore—
Thy will be done!
Our path with gloom; one comfort—one
Is ours—to breathe while we adore—
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done—above—below—
Here and hereafter. We have none
Holier desires to proffer—No!
Thy will be done!
Here and hereafter. We have none
Holier desires to proffer—No!
Thy will be done!
