Lyics

FATHER, whate'er of earthly bliss

Thy sovereign will denies,

Accepted at thy throne of grace,

Let this petition rise:



Give me a calm, a thankful heart,

From every murmur free;

The blessings of thy grace impart,

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.
