Spiritual Blessings by Anonymous

Almighty Father! Thou hast many blessingsIn store for every loving child of Thine;For this I pray,—Let me, Thy grace possessing,Seek to be guided by Thy will divine.Not for earth’s treasures,—for her joys the dearest,—Would I my supplications raise to Thee;Not for the hopes that to my heart are nearest,But only that I give that heart to Thee.I pray that Thou wouldst guide and guard me ever;Cleanse, by Thy power, from every stain of sin;I will Thy blessing ask on each endeavor,And thus Thy promised peace my soul shall win.
