| Text: | Thy Will, O Lord, Not Mine |
| Author: | H. W. Flickinger |
| Tune: | [If I may not have the thing I crave] |
| Composer: | Geo. C. Stebbins |
1 If I may not have the thing I crave,
For reasons known to Thee alone;
Give me grace to say, with patience brave,
Thy will, O Lord, not mine, be done.
2 If I may not reach my aimed for goal,
Tho’ striving hard from sun to sun;
Give me grace to say within my soul,
Thy will, O Lord, not mine, be done.
3 If I may not rise to honors high,
Have neither fame nor fortune won;
Give me grace to say, without a sigh,
Thy will, O Lord, not mine, be done.
4 If I may not be from trouble free,
Since trouble comes to ev’ry one,
Give me grace, I pray, to say to Thee,
Thy will, O Lord, not mine, be done.
