THY WILL BE DONE.

By A. L. Guilford

Our blessings, Lord, are lent by thee, And we receive them joyfully, Yet read how often thoughtlessly, Thy will be done.
But when these blessings fade away, The afflicted then will try to pray, But find it hard sometimes to say, Thy will be done.
Thy mercies are forever new, Thy love and goodness I can view, And feel thou art forever true. Thy will be done.
Father, to thee I lift my eyes, And strive to heed thy counsel wise, My chastened heart in grief replies, Thy will be done.
I will not murmur or complain, The Lord's corrections are not vain, My heart shall breathe in mournful strain, Thy will be done.
O, if thou givest grace to bear, And for thy rest thou wilt prepare, And save me, Lord, from every snare. Thy will be done.
If when thou smitest with the rod, Thou'lt show thy face above the cloud, My joyful heart shall sing aloud, Thy will be done.
A. L. GUILFORD. Monroe, Wis.
