My God, my Father! while I stray

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #497 (1899) Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father! while I stray Far from my home, on life's rough way, Oh, teach me from my heart to say, "Thy will be done." 2 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved no longer nigh; Submissive still would I reply, "Thy will be done!" 3 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!" 4 Renew my will from day to day; Blend it with Thine, and take away Whate'er now makes it hard to say, "Thy will be done!" 5 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!" Amen. Topics: God Will of; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: HANFORD

My God and Father, while I stray

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal #532 (1895) Lyrics: 1 My God and Father, while I stray Far from my home in 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 prize, it ne'er was mine: I only yield thee what was Thine: Thy will be done. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. Amen.
