Do Thou Thy Will

Do Thou Thy will with me! I am convinced that Thy mysterious ways Lead ever up to goals of peace. I see, In looking back o’er discontented days When I rebelled at paths Thou led’st me in — I see how for my good it all has been: Do Thou Thy will.
Do Thou Thy will. I find That when I wept because some barrier stood Between me and my longings, I was blind; For Thou hadst placed it there for my own good; And when in chosen paths I could not go, It was to guard me from some needless woe: Do Thou Thy will.
Do Thou Thy will. I feel The calm of realms toward which my feet are led, Across my fevered, restless spirit steal; The blind rebellion of my heart is dead. Or in the valley, or on the heights above, The hand that leads me is the hand of Love: Do Thou Thy will.
