Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#148

148. Father, Whatever of Earthly Bliss

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

2 Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From ev'ry murmur free;
The blessings of Thy grace impart,
And let me live to Thee.

3 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.

Amen.
