On L at top): My God my Father while I stray / A little while on life's rough way / O teach me from my heart to say / Thy will thy will, (On R at top): O, god be done. / And when on earth I breathe no more / Thy prayer oft mix'd with tears before / I'll sing upon a happier shore. Thy will thy will, O God be done / (In center): Jane Bradley / 1870
