THY WILL.

By John Hay

Not in dumb resignation We lift our hands on high; Not like the nervous fatalist, Content to do and die. Our faith springs like the eagle's, Who soars to meet the sun, And cries exulting unto Thee, “O Lord, Thy will be done.”
Thy will! It bids the weak be strong, It bids the strong be just; No lip to fawn, no hand to beg, No brow to seek the dust. Wherever man oppresses man, Beneath the liberal sun, O Lord, be there, Thine arm made bare, Thy righteous will be done. —John Hay.
