This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Oh, 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!

 
 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!

 
 3 

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

All shall be well for me;

Each changing future scene

I gladly trust with Thee.

Straight to Thy rest above

I travel calmly on,

And sing, in life or death,

My Lord, Thy will be done!
