Father, Whatever of Earthly Bliss

Anne Steele (1760) • English

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Let the sweet that thout art mine My path of life attend; Thy presence thru' my journey shine, And bless its happy end.
