Verse 1
My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Oh,
may Thy will be mine!
Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign;
Through sorrow, or through joy,
conduct me as Thine own,
And help me still to say,
my Lord, Thy will be done!
Verse 2
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
Give me Thy people's bread,
their portion rich and sure.
The manna of Thy Word Let my soul feed upon;
And if all else should fail,
my Lord, thy will be done!
Verse 3
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Though seen through many'a tear,
Let not my star of hope grow dim or disappear;
Since Thou on earth hast wept,
and sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
my Lord, Thy will be done!
Verse 4
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee:
Straight to my home above I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
my Lord, Thy will be done!
