Graceful Blessings
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Grace, mercy, and peace from God,
Who’s the Father of our Lord;
That we worship, honor, and laud,
And that we live in one accord.
I thank God for whom I serve,
And having a clear conscience;
For He has given the verve,
As used with my common sense.
I remember in my prayer,
Constantly both night and day;
All my troubles that I share,
And that I trust and obey.
I do long to see the Lord,
That I may be filled with joy;
Always be in one accord,
Yearning as tears employ.
My faith still remains sincere,
As dwelt in my ancestors;
And continue to revere,
Avoiding the protestors.
Remember to fan the flame,
And stir up the gift from God;
Laying your hands to proclaim,
How much you honor and laud.
God gave no spirit of fear,
But of love and self-control;
And a sound mind so sincere,
With purity for your soul.
