Author: fr. K. R. Hagenbach Hymnal: Laudes Domini #462 (1888) Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:10 First Line: Since thy Father's arm sustains thee Lyrics: 1 Since thy Father's arm sustains thee,
Peaceful be;
When a chastening hand restrains thee,
It is he!
Know his love in full completeness
Fills the measure of thy weakness;
If he wound thy spirit sore,
Trust him more.
2 Without murmur, uncomplaining,
In his hand
Lay whatever things thou canst not
Understand:
Though the world thy folly spurneth,
From thy faith in pity turneth,
Peace thy inmost soul shall fill--
Lying still.
3 Fearest sometimes that thy Father
Hath forgot?
When the clouds around thee gather,
Doubt him not!
Always hath the daylight broken--
Always hath he comfort spoken--
Better hath he been for years,
Than thy fears.
4 To his own thy Saviour giveth
Daily strength;
To each troubled soul that liveth
Peace at length:
Weakest lambs have largest sharing
Of this tender Shepherd's caring;
Ask him not, then--when or how--
Only bow. Topics: Afflictions; Cares; Christians Afflictions; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Languages: English Tune Title: HARVEY
