English poem
_The Tune._
by Hezekiah Butterworth (1839–1905)
The true musical mate of the sweet hymn-prayer came to it probably about the time of its hundredth birthday; but it came to stay. Lowell Mason's "Naomi" blends with it like a symphony of nature.
Father, whate'er of earthly bliss Thy sovereign will denies, Accepted at Thy throne of grace Let this petition rise.
Give me a calm and thankful heart From every murmer free. The blessings of Thy grace impart, And make me live to Thee.
