THY WILL BE DONE, by                    
First Line: From out of the travail of my soul
Last Line: I know that now I see.
Subject(s): Despair; Prayer


From out of the travail of my soul
I cried to Heaven above;
When the arm of flesh could not avail
I turned to the God of Love;
The cry of my anguish and despair
Was heard by the Only One
Who could prevail when, with breaking heart
I said, "Thy Will be done."

'Twas in full surrender of my will
With my pride laid in the dust,
The healing power of God's Spirit came
When in Him I placed my trust.
How do I know 'twas the Spirit's touch
Gave my loved one back to me?
My answer is this—whereas I was blind
I know that now I see.
