A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#HVII

HVII. In thine own Ways, O God of Love

1 In thine own Ways, O God of Love,
We wait the Visits of thy Grace;
Our Soul's Desire is to thy Name,
And the Remembrance of thy Face.
2 My Thoughts are searching, Lord for Thee.
Amongst the Shades of lonesome Night;
My earnest Pray'rs ascend the Skies
Before the Dawn restore the Light.

3 Look how rebellious Men deride
The tender Patience of my God;
But they shall see thy lifted Hand,
And feel the Scourges of thy Rod.
4 Hark! the Eternal rends the Sky,
A mighty Voice before Him goes,
A Voice of Musick to his Friends,
But threatning Thunder to his Foes.

5 Come Children, to your Father's Arms,
Hide in the Chambers of my Grace,
Till the fierce Storm be overblown,
And my revenging Fury cease.
