Hymnal: Christian Hymns #149 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
O’er the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say, Thy will be done.
2 Though cast down, we’re not forsaken,
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give, and Thou hast taken:
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
3 Though to-day we’re filled with mourning,
Mercy still is on the throne;
With Thy smiles and love returning,
We can sing, Thy will be done.
4 By Thy hands the boon was given,
Thou hast taken but Thine own:
Lord of earth, and God of heaven,
Evermore, Thy will be done. Topics: Christ Refuge; Children Death of; Sickness, Death, and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: LONGING FOR HEAVEN
