Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with thee, My Lord, thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with thee: Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, thy will be done!

Take thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to thee may seem; Choose thou my good and ill. 3 Choose thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. Not mine, not mine the choice, In things or great or small; Be thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom and my All. Languages: English
