Thy Will Be Done Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDEECEEFFCGGEEC EEEECHHIICEEIIC| WE see not know not all our way | A |
| Is night with Thee alone is day | A |
| From out the torrent's troubled drift | B |
| Above the storm our prayers we lift | B |
| Thy will be done | C |
| The flesh may fail the heart may faint | D |
| But who are we to make complaint | D |
| Or dare to plead in times like these | E |
| The weakness of our love of ease | E |
| Thy will be done | C |
| We take with solemn thankfulness | E |
| Our burden up nor ask it less | E |
| And count it joy that even we | F |
| May suffer serve or wait for Thee | F |
| Whose will be done | C |
| Though dim as yet in tint and line | G |
| We trace Thy picture's wise design | G |
| And thank Thee that our age supplies | E |
| Its dark relief of sacrifice | E |
| Thy will be done | C |
| And if in our unworthiness | E |
| Thy sacrificial wine we press | E |
| If from Thy ordeal's heated bars | E |
| Our feet are seamed with crimson scars | E |
| Thy will be done | C |
| If for the age to come this hour | H |
| Of trial hath vicarious power | H |
| And blest by Thee our present pain | I |
| Be Liberty's eternal gain | I |
| Thy will be done | C |
| Strike Thou the Master we Thy keys | E |
| The anthem of the destinies | E |
| The minor of Thy loftier strain | I |
| Our hearts shall breathe the old refrain | I |
| Thy will be done | C |
