MOST BLESSED FOREVER by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: THE PRAYER OF MANY A DAY IS ALL FULFILLED
Last Line: "SWEETEST AND FULLEST, ""MOST BLESSED FOREVER!"
Subject(s): BLESSINGS; PRAYER;

THE prayer of many a day is all fulfilled,
Only by full fruition stayed and stilled;
You asked for blessing as your Father willed,
Now He hath answered, "Most blessed forever!"

Lost is the daily light of mutual smile,
You therefore sorrow now a little while;
But floating down life's dimmed and lonely aisle
Comes the clear music, "Most blessed forever!"

From the great anthems of the Crystal Sea,
Through the far vistas of Eternity,
Grand echoes of the word peal on for thee,
Sweetest and fullest, "Most blessed forever!"
