"His Will be done", we say, reluctantly with sighs,
Expecting trial, bitter loss & tears.
But often He then answers us with blessings,
And sweet rebuking of our faithless fears.

Why do we often fear to do His bidding,
And fail to do the thing He wants us to?
The One Who clears a path and leads us down it
Will light our way and also see us through.

God's Will at times is not so soft and easy
And often seems the harder path to choose,
But let Him have His way and trust Him wholly,
For though you give Him all, you'll never lose!

It's true the road to Heaven's straight and narrow
But let us bear our burdens with a smile,
When we get Home beyond those shimmering portals,
How small will seem each Earthly test and trial!

His Will for us is good, & grace, & glory
His Kingdom coming & on Earth begun.
Why should we fear to say, "His Will, His righteous,
Tender loving, joyous Will be done!"?
