My God, My Father, Make Me Strong

My God

my Fa­ther

make me strong

When tasks of life seem hard and long

To greet them with this tri­umph song

Thy will be done.

Draw from my ti­mid eyes the veil

To show

where earth­ly forces fail

Thy pow­er and love must still pre­vail

Thy will be done.

With con­fi­dent and hum­ble mind

Freedom in serv­ice I would find

Praying through ev­ery toil as­signed

Thy will be done.

Things deemed im­pos­si­ble I dare;

Thine is the call and Thine the care;

Thy wis­dom shall the way pre­pare;

Thy will be done.

All pow­er is here and round me now;

Faithful I stand in rule and vow

While ’tis not I

but ever Thou:

Thy will be done.

Heav’n’s mu­sic chimes the glad days in;

Hope soars be­yond death

pain and sin;

Faith shouts in tri­umph

Love must win;

Thy will be done.
