My God, my Father, while I stray

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #64 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 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! 2 Though dark my path and sad my lot, Let me be still and murmur not, Or breathe the prayer divinely taught, Thy will be done! 3 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh? Submissive still would I reply, Thy will be done! 4 If thou shouldst call me to resign What most I prized,--it ne’er was mine; I only yield Thee what is Thine; Thy will be done! 5 Should grief or sickness waste away My life in premature decay, My Father, still I strive to say, Thy will be done! 6 Let but my fainting heart be blest With Thy good Spirit for its guest, My God, to Thee I leave the rest; Thy will be done! 7 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! 8 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!
