THY WILL BE DONE, by                    
First Line: "jesus, while our hearts are bleeding"
Last Line: Evermore--thy will be done
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
O'er the spoils that death has won,
We would, at this solemn meeting,
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 today we're fill'd with mourning,
Mercy still is on the throne;
With Thy smiles of love returning,
We can sing, Thy will be done.

By Thy hands the boon was given,
Thou hast taken but Thine own:
Lord of earth, and God of heaven,
Evermore--Thy will be done.
