Lyrics

Thy will alone, dear Lord,
Is all I care to do
In all I act or speak, or think,
While I re­main be­low.

I care not what I do,
I care not where I go,
If Thou will gent­ly lead me, Lord,
Down thro’ this vale of woe.

I’m not afraid to trust,
I see Thy smil­ing face;
Thou drew apart the veil for me,
Within the ho­li­est place.

Then help me trust Thee, Lord,
To all Thy will I bow;
A sup­pli­cant at Thy great throne,
Thou dost re­ceive me now.
