Father, whate'er of earthly bliss

by Anne Steele (1716–1778)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 333 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss Thy sovereign will denies, Accepted at Thy throne of grace Let this petition rise.

Verse 2

Give me a calm, a thankful, heart, From every murmur free; The blessings of Thy grace impart, And make me live to Thee.

Verse 3

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.
