12189. The God Of Love Will Sure Indulge

1 The God of love will sure indulge
The flowing tear, the heaving sigh,
When righteous persons fall around,
When tender friends and kindred die.

2 Yet not one anxious murmuring thought
Should with our mourning passions blend;
Nor should our bleeding hearts forget
Th’almighty ever living Friend.

3 Parent, protector, guardian, guide!
Thou art each tender name in one.
On Thee we cast our every care,
And comfort seek from Thee alone.

4 Our Father God, to Thee we look,
Our rock, our portion, and our friend!
And on Thy gracious love and truth
Our sinking souls shall still depend.
