C              F       C
My God, my father while I stray
 C                F            C
along my path, in life's rough way,
      C                F        G
Lord, teach me from my heart to say,
F    G       C     F   G       C
"Thy will be done. Thy will be done."

       C                F      C
Though dark my path and sad my lot,
    C               F      C
let me be still and murmur not
   C                  F        G
or breathe the prayer divinely taught -
F    G       C      F   G       C
"Thy will be done." Thy will be done.

   C           F          C
If thou should call me to resign,
     C              F       C
what once I prize never was mine.
  C               F       G
I only yield thee what is thine!
F   G       C     F   G       G
Thy will be done. Thy will be done.

     C               F          C
And, when on Earth I breathe no more,
    C                     F     C
the prayer oft mixed with tears before,
     C              F      G
I'll sing upon that joyful shore! -
F    G       C     F   G       C
"Thy will be done. Thy will be done."
