<h3>‘Most Blessed For Ever.’</h3>
<div class="verse">
<p class="t0">The prayer of many a day is all fulfilled,</p>
<p class="t0">Only by full fruition stayed and stilled;</p>
<p class="t0">You asked for blessing as your Father willed,</p>
<p class="t">Now He hath answered: ‘Most blessed for ever!’</p>
</div>
<div class="verse">
<p class="t0">Lost is the daily light of mutual smile,</p>
<p class="t0">You therefore sorrow now a little while;</p>
<p class="t0">But floating down life’s dimmed and lonely aisle</p>
<p class="t">Comes the clear music: ‘Most blessed for ever!’</p>
</div>
<div class="verse">
<p class="t0">From the great anthems of the Crystal Sea,</p>
<p class="t0">Through the far vistas of Eternity,</p>
<p class="t0">Grand echoes of the word peal on for thee,</p>
<p class="t">Sweetest and fullest: ‘Most blessed for ever.’</p>
