When all Thy mercies, O my God

Hymnal: BW1870 #75 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumber'd comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestow'd, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flow'd. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, convey'd me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through ev'ry period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But oh, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise.

God moves in a mysterious way

Hymnal: BW1870 #76 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders you perform, He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are full of mercy, and will break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev'ry hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain, God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

Thy way, O God, is in the sea

Hymnal: BW1870 #77 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea, Thy paths I cannot trace, Nor comprehend the mystery Of Thine unbounded grace. 2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense My captive soul surround; Mysterious deeps of providence My wondering thoughts confound. 3 As through a glass, I dimly see The wonders of Thy love, How little do I know of Thee, Or of the joys above! 4 'Tis but in part I know Thy will, I bless Thee for the sight; When will Thy love the rest reveal In glory's clearer light? 5 With raptures shall I then survey Thy providence and grace; And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love and praise.

Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design

Hymnal: BW1870 #78 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design, Are framed upon Thy throne above, And ev'ry dark or bending line Meets in the centre of Thy love. 2 With feeble light, and half obscure, Poor mortals Thine arrangements view; Not knowing that the least are sure, And the mysterious just and true. 3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care, Though now they seem to roam uneyed, Are led or driven only where They best and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way: But while they trust Thy guardian eye, Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favor'd soul shall meekly learn To lay her reason at Thy throne; Too weak Thy secrets to discern, I'll trust Thee for my guide alone.

Father, I know that all my life

Hymnal: BW1870 #79 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portion'd out by Thee; The changes that will surely come I do not fear to see: I ask Thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And to wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, That seeks for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know: I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts, To keep and cultivate; A work of lowly love to do For Him on whom I wait. 5 I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6 And if some things I do not ask, Among my blessings be, I'd have my spirit filled the more With grateful love to Thee; More careful, not to serve Thee much, But please Thee perfectly.

God is the refuge of His saints

Hymnal: BW1870 #80 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints, When storms of deep distress invade, Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold Him present with His aid. 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurl'd Down to the deep, and buried there; Convulsions shake the solid world: Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar, In sacred peace our souls abide; While every nation, every shore Trembles and dreads the swelling tide. 4 'Midst storms and tempests, Lord, Thy word Does every rising fear control; Sweet peace Thy promises afford, And well sustain the fainting soul.

How are Thy servants blest, O Lord!

Hymnal: BW1870 #81 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How are Thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defence! Eternal Wisdom is their guide, Their help Omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms and lands remote, Supported by Thy care, They pass unhurt through burning climes, And breathe in tainted air. 3 Though by the dreadful tempest toss'd High on the broken wave, They know Thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to Thy will; The sea, that roars at Thy command, At Thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears and deaths, Thy goodness I'll adore; We praise Thee for Thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more 6 My life, while Thou preserv'st my life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And oh! may death, when death shall come, Unite my soul to Thee.

Give to the winds thy fears

Hymnal: BW1870 #82 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope, and be undismay'd: God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears, And shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 What though thou rulest not? Yet heaven, and earth, and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 4 Thine everlasting truth, Father, Thy ceaseless love, Sees all Thy children's wants, and knows What best for each will prove. 5 Let us in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare; And publish, with our latest breath, Thy love and guardian care.

Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears

Hymnal: BW1870 #83 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears; Be mercy all your theme; Mercy, which like a river flows In one continued stream. 2 Fear not the powers of earth and hell: God will these powers restrain; His mighty arm their rage repel, And make their efforts vain. 3 Fear not the want of outward good: He still for His provides, Grants them supplies of daily food, And gives them heaven beside. 4 Fear not that He will e'er forsake, Or leave His work undone: He's faithful to His promises, And faithful to His Son. 5 Fear not the terrors of the grave, Nor death's tremendous sting: He will from endless wrath preserve, To endless glory bring.

To God I lift mine eyes

Hymnal: BW1870 #84 (1870) Lyrics: 1 To God I lift mine eyes, From Him is all mine aid; The God who built the skies, And earth's foundations laid. God is the tower To which I fly: His grace is nigh In every hour. 2 My feet shall never slide Or fall in fatal snares; Since God, my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears. Those wakeful eyes That never sleep, His children keep When dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there. Thou art my sun, And Thou my shade, To guard my head By night or noon.
