147b. "Thy will be done!" in devious way

1 "Thy will be done!" in devious way
The hurrying stream of life may run;
Yet still our grateful hearts shall say,
"Thy will done."

2 "Thy will be done!" if o'er us shine
A gladd'ning and a prosp'rous sun,
This prayer will make it more divine--
"Thy will be done!"

3 "Thy will be done!" though shrouded o'er
Our path with gloom, one comfort--one
Is ours:--to breathe, while we adore,
"Thy will be done."
