"THY WILL, NOT MINE."
GOD of my life, my light, my love,
O teach me how to pray,
Give me the words I cannot find,
Give me the heart to say—
          "Thy will, not mine."

Give me the faith I need to come,
That evermore would say—
Thy will, O Lord, in life be mine;
Lord, teach me that to pray—
          "Thy will, not mine."
