Thy Perfect Will Be Done
T.O. Chisholm
George C. Stebbins, 1846-1945

Thy will, O God, not mine, be done!  I know Thy will is best;
If, sometimes otherwise it seems, I still believe and rest.
Thy will is best, tis there I rest in shadow or in sun,
My prayer to Thee shall ever be:  Thy perfect will be done.

Thy will, O god, not mine, be done!  Choose Thou for me my way;
If I should try to walk alone, my feet would surely stray.
Thy will is best, tis there I rest in shadow or in sun,
My prayer to Thee shall ever be:  Thy perfect will be done.

Thy will, O God, not mine, be done!  I cannot see afar;
The things that lie beyond my sight Thou seest as they are.
Thy will is best, tis there I rest in shadow or in sun,
My prayer to Thee shall ever be:  Thy perfect will be done.

Thy will, O God, not mine, be done!  Whatever this may bring;
In trials, whether great or small, Thy will in ev'rything.
Thy will is best, tis there I rest in shadow or in sun,
My prayer to Thee shall ever be:  Thy perfect will be done.
