As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 404 — the newest hymnal carrying it.
Verse 1
My Jesus, as Thou wilt; O may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow or through joy, Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, "My Lord, Thy will be done."
Verse 2
My Jesus, as Thou wilt; Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear. Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, "My Lord, Thy will be done."
Verse 3
My Jesus, as Thou wilt; All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Straight to my home above, I travel calmly on, And sing in life or death, "My Lord, Thy will be done."
