Thy Will Be Done.

Topics: classic

Searcher of Hearts!--from mine erase         All thoughts that should not be,     And in its deep recesses trace         My gratitude to Thee!     Hearer of Prayer!--oh, guide aright         Each word and deed of mine;     Life's battle teach me how to fight,         And be the victory Thine.     Giver of All!--for every good--         In the Redeemer came--     For raiment, shelter, and for food,         I thank Thee in His name.     Father and Son and Holy Ghost!         Thou glorious Three in One!     Thou knowest best what I need most,         And let Thy will be done.
