VERSE 2
If but my fainting heart be blessed
With the Holy Spirit for its guest
My God to Thee I leave the rest

What most I prize, never was mine
I only yield Thee what is Thine
Thy will be done!

Then when on earth I breathe no more
The prayer oft mixed with tears before
I’ll sing upon that joyful shore
Thy will be done!
