Author: Anonymous Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #217 (1866) Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: Almighty Father! Thou hast many a blessing Lyrics:
Almighty Father! Thou hast many a blessing
In store for every erring child of Thine;
For this I pray,—Let me, Thy grace possessing,
Seek to be guided by Thy will divine.
Not for earth’s treasures, for her joys the dearest,
Would I my supplications raise to Thee;
Not for the hopes that to my heart are nearest,
But only that I give that heart to Thee.
I pray that Thou wouldst guide and guard me ever;
Cleanse, by Thy power, from every stain of sin;
I will Thy blessing ask on each endeavor,
And thus Thy promised peace my soul shall win.
