Lord! for the just thou dost provide

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XLV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Lord! for the just thou dost provide; Thou art their sure defence: Eternal Wisdom is their guide; Their help Omnipotence. 2 Though they through foreign lands should roam And breathe the tainted air In burning climates, far from home, Yet thou, their God, art there. 3 Thy goodness sweetens ev'ry soil, Makes ev'ry country please; Thou on the snowy hills dost smile, And smooth'st the rugged seas. 4 When waves on waves, to heav'n uprear'd, Defy'd the pilot's art; When terror in each face appear'd, And sorrow in each heart; 5 To thee I rais'd my humble pray'r To snatch me from the grave; I found "thine ear not slow to hear, "Nor short thine arm to save." 6 Thou gav'st the word — the winds did cease, The storms obey'd thy will; The raging sea was hush'd in peace, And ev'ry wave was still. 7 For this, my life in ev'ry state, A life of praise shall be; And death (when death shall be my fate) Shall join my soul to thee.
