My God and Father! While I Stray (EN 2851)

EN 2851 My God and Father! While I Stray

Matt.6.10

Versi Version 1

1

My God and 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

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 prize, it ne’er was mine;

I only yield Thee what was Thine;

“Thy will be done!”

5

Should pining sickness waste away,

My life in premature decay,

My Father! still I strive to say,

“Thy will be done!”

6

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!”

7

Renew my will from day to day,

Blend it with Thine, and take away

All now that 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!”
