O may Thy will be mine; Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow, or through joy, Conduct me as Thine own; And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done! 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people’s bread, Their portion rich and sure The manna of Thy Word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly. Leaning on Thee, to go Where Thou before hast gone. The rest as Thou shalt please; My Lord, Thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done! Used With Tune: JEWETT
