Calmly say, "Thy will be DONE"
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted, not alone,
Thou didst give, and thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, "Thy will be DONE"
Though to-day we're filled with
mourning,
Mercy still is on the throne,
With the smiles of love returning, -,
We can sing, "Thy will be DONE"
By thy hands thy boon was given,
Thou hast taken but thine own,
Lord of earth, and God of heaven,
Evermore, "Thy will be DONE"
