Lyics

FATHER, whate'er of earthly bliss

Thy sov'reign 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.
