O39. To Do Thy Holy Will

1 To do thy holy will,
To bear the cross,
To trust thy mercy still
In pain or loss,
Poor gifts are these to bring,
Dear Lord, to thee,
Who hast done everything
For all, and me!

2 For all thy glorious earth,
Thy stars and flowers,
For love and gentle mirth,
For happy hours,
For good by which we live,
For sweet sunshine,
What recompense can give
This heart of mine?

3 Thou who enthroned above
Dost hear our call,
O, can our faithful love
Pay thee for all?
Poor recompense to bring,
Dear Lord, to thee,
Who hast done everything
For man, and me!
