Songtext von Petition

Father whate’er of earthly bliss Thy sovereign hand denies Accepted at thy throne of grace Let this petition rise 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 Give me a calm, a thankful heart From every murmur free The blessings of thy grace impart And make me live to thee You raise your hand to still the storms That rage inside my head Revive my heart with gratitude Love quell my doubt and dread Give me a sure and rested soul From every fear relief The spirit’s power and presence mine To ever comfort me Give me a sure, a restful heart From every fear relief Thy spirit’s power and presence mine To ever comfort me Give me a calm, a thankful heart From every murmur free The blessings of thy grace impart And make me live to thee
