The Blessing of God on the Business and Comforts of Life

Verse 1

God, if you bless not, all the cost and pains to build the house are lost; cities must all be in your keep, or watchful guards as well may sleep.

Verse 2

It’s all in vain, till you have blessed; you make us rich, yet give us rest. Children and friends are blessings too, when you, our Sovereign, make them so.

Verse 3

Happy the ones to whom God sends obedient children, faithful friends! How sweet our daily comforts prove, when you have blessed them with your love.
