Father, Whatever Of Earthly Bliss
Thy Sovereign Will Denies,
Accepted At Thy Throne, Let This
My Humble Prayer, Arise:
Give Me A Calm And Thankful Heart,
From Every Murmur Free;
The Blessing Of Thy Grace Impart,
And Make Me Live To Thee.
Let The Sweet Hope That Thou Art Mine
My Life And Death Attend,
Thy Presence Through My Journey Shine,
And Crown My Journey’s End.
When I Survey Life’s Varied Scene,
Amid The Darkest Hours,
Sweet Rays Of Comfort Shine Between,
And Thorns Are Mixed With Flowers.
Lord, Teach Me To Adore Thy Hand,
From Whence My Comforts Flow,
And Let Me In This Desert Land
A Glimpse Of Canaan Know.
Is Health And Ease My Happy Share?
O May I Bless My God;
Thy Kindness Let My Songs Declare,
And Spread Thy Praise Abroad.
While Such Delightful Gifts As These
Are Kindly Dealt To Me,
Be All My Hours Of Health And Ease
Devoted, Lord, To Thee.
In Griefs And Pains Thy Sacred Word
(Dear Solace Of My Soul!)
Celestial Comforts Can Afford,
And All Their Power Control.
When Present Sufferings Pain My Heart,
Or Future Terrors Rise,
And Light And Hope Almost Depart,
From These Dejected Eyes,
Thy Powerful Word Supports My Hope,
Sweet Cordial Of The Mind,
And Bears My Fainting Spirit Up,
And Bids Me Wait Resigned.
And, Oh, Whatever Of Earthly Bliss
Thy Sovereign Hand Denies,
Accepted At Thy Throne Of Grace,
Let This Petition Rise;
Give Me A Calm, A Thankful Heart,
From Every Murmur Free;
The Blessings Of Thy Grace Impart,
And Let Me Live To Thee.
“Let The Sweet Hope That Thou Art Mine,
My Path Of Life Attend;
Thy Presence Through My Journey Shine,
And Bless Its Happy End.”
