Anne Steele·Post-Reformation
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.
Anne Steele, “Father, Whate'er of Earthly Bliss”
Presbyterian 1895 No. 511 · C.M. · Naomi
John Newton·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
Behold the throne of grace!
The promise calls me near:
There Jesus shows a smiling face,
And waits to answer prayer.
Verse 2
My soul, ask what thou wilt;
Thou canst not be too bold;
Since His own blood for thee He spilt,
What else can He withhold?
Verse 3
Thine image, Lord, bestow,
Thy presence and Thy love;
I ask to serve Thee here below,
And reign with Thee above.
Verse 4
Teach me to live by faith;
Conform my will to Thine;
Let me victorious be in death,
And then in glory shine.
