Thy Will Be Done

FRANK L. HALLAM

Thy will be done, we sing and pray
In accents loud, on bended knee;
But do we mean just what we say?
That is: Thy will be done—in me?

We need to learn, Thou God of love,
That each of us must do his part;
And works, not words, alone can prove
The truth in every human heart.

Give us, O Father, grace and power
To know Thy will; and this we pray,
That in our very darkest hour
Thy will, not mine, be done, we say!

To do Thy will we needs must know
Thy perfect truth, the Christ revealed;
And then, through faith and love we show
That every discord may be healed.

And if we strive Thy will to know,
And—more than this—Thy truth to live,
Rich blessings then will surely flow
From Thee who hast all things to give.

We'd love to hear from you!
