The Hymnal ‎#396

396. Father, whate'er of earthly bliss

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at thy throne of grace
Let this petition rise:

Give me a calm and 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 path of life attend:
Thy presence through my journey shine
And crown my journey's end.

Amen.
