Lyics

Father, what'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 thro' my journey shine,

"And crown my journey's end."
