Jesus, While Our Hearts Are Bleeding

Jesus

while our hearts are bleed­ing

O’er the spoils that death has won

We would at this so­lemn meet­ing

Calmly say

Thy will be done.

Though cast down

we’re not for­sak­en

Though af­flict­ed

not alone;

Thou didst give

and Thou hast tak­en;

Blessèd Lord

Thy will be done.

Though to­day we’re filled with mourn­ing

Mercy still is on the throne;

With Thy smiles and love re­turn­ing

We can sing

Thy will be done.

By Thy hands the boon was giv­en;

Thou hast tak­en but Thine own;

Lord of earth

and God of Heav­en

Evermore

Thy will be done.
