Poems (Eckley)/"Thy will, not mine"

by Sophia May Eckley

"THY WILL, NOT MINE."

OD 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."
