LyicsFa-ther, whate'er of earth-ly bliss
Thy sovereign will de-nies,
Ac-cept-ed at thy throne of grace,
Let this pe-ti-tion rise:
Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From ev-ery mur-mur free;
The bless-ings of thy grace im-part,
And make me live to thee.
Let the sweet hope that thou art mine,
My life, and death attend;
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And crown my journey's end.
