As Water to the Thirsty
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.4.4.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 25:25 Lyrics: 1 As water to the thirsty,
as beauty to the eyes,
as strength that follows weakness,
as truth instead of lies;
as songtime and springtime
and summertime to be,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
2 Like calm in place of clamor,
like peace that follows pain,
like meeting after parting,
like sunshine after rain;
like moonlight and starlight
and sunlight on the sea,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
3 As sleep that follows fever,
as gold instead of grey,
as freedom after bondage,
as sunrise to the day;
as home to the traveler
and all we long to see,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.

Thy way is in the sea
Author: Fawcett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #135 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Proverbs 25:2 Lyrics: 1 Thy way is in the sea;
Thy paths we can not trace;
Nor solve, O Lord, the mystery
Of thy unbounded grace.

Our captive souls surround;
Mysterious deeps of providence
Our wandering thoughts confound.
3 As through a glass we see
The wonders of thy love;
How little do we know of thee,
Or of the joys above!
