When in the wondrous realms above Our Saviour had been called upon, To save our world of sin by love, He said, 'Thy will, O Lord, be done.' The Kings of kings left worlds of light, Became the meek and lowly one; In brightest day or darkest night He said, 'Thy will, O Lord, be done.' No crown of thorns, no cruel cross Could make our great Redeemer shun. He counted his own will but loss, And said, 'Thy will, O Lord, be done.' We take the bread and cup this day, In memory of the Sinless One, And pray for strength, That we may say, As he, 'Thy will, O Lord, be done.'
