[E]
If it [F#m] be your will that [D] I speak no [C#m] more,
[E] Then my voice be [F#m] still as
[A] it was before.
[E] [C#m]
I will speak no [B]
more, I [C#m] shall abide until
[A]
I am spoken [E]
for.
[B] If it be your will,
[E]
if it [F#] be your [F#m] will,
[D] That there [C#m] is a voice
[E] from the broken [F#m] hill,
[A] Then I will sing to [E] you.
[C#m] From this broken [B]
hill, [C#m]
[F#] they shall [B]
ring,
[A]
If it be [E] your will to [B] let me sing.
A lot of those songs are [E] just the response to
what struck [F#m] me as beauty, whatever that curious emanation
[D] from a being or an object [C#m] or a situation or a landscape, you know.
[E] That had a very powerful effect on me as it does on everyone.
[F#m] I prayed to have some [A] response to the things that were so clearly [E] beautiful to me.
They were alive.
[C#m] From this [B] broken hill, [C#m] know your praises,
They [B] shall ring,
[A] if it be your [E] will to [B] let me sing.
[E] If it be [F#m] your will, [D] if there is a [C#m] choice,
[E] Let the rivers [F#m] fill,
[A] let the hills rejoice.
[E]
[C#m] Let your mercy [B] spill,
[C#m] burning hearts in [B] hell.
[A] If it be your [E] will to [B]
[E]
enjoy [F#m] this meal,
[D] Then bind [C#m] us tight,
[E] all your children [F#m] here,
[A] In the rags of [E] life,
[C#m] in the rags [B] of life,
[C#m]
Dressed [B] to kill,
[A]
and [E] in this night,
If it [B] be your will,
[A]
in this [E] night,
If it [B] be your will,
[A]
If [E]
[B] it be your will,
[A]
[E]
[B] Then bind us tight, all [A] your children here,
[E] In the rags of life,
If it be [B] your will,
If it be your will,
If it [E] be your [A] will,
