My God and Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life's rough way O teach me from my heart to say "Thy will be done!" Thy will be done! Thy will be done! O teach me from my heart to say, "Thy will be done!
What thought in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh Submissive still would I reply "Thy will be done!" Thy will be done! Thy will be done! Submissive still would I reply, "Thy will be done!"
Let 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!" Thy will be done! Thy will be done! My God, to Thee I leave the rest, "Thy will be done!"

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!" Thy will be done! Thy will be done! I'll sing upon a happier shore, "Thy will be done!"
