Intro: C

My God and Father while I stray, far from my home in life’s rough way,
[G/B]Oh! teach me from my heart to say, “Thy will[C/E] be done. Thy will[C/E] be done.”

If thou shouldst call me to resign, what most I prize, it ne’er was mine.
[G/B] I only yield thee what was thine; “Thy will[C/E] be done. Thy will[C/E] be done.”

If but my fainting heart be blest, with thy sweet Spirit for its guest,
[G/B] my God, to thee I leave the rest, “Thy will[C/E] be done. Thy will[C/E] be done.”

Renew my will from day to day, blend it with thine, and take away,
[G/B] all now that makes it hard to say, “Thy will[C/E] be done. Thy will[C/E] be done.”

Then when on Earth I breathe no more, the prayer oft mixed with tears before,
[G/B]I’ll sing upon a happ’er shore, “Thy will[C/E] be done. Thy will[C/E] be done.”
