Providence

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #257 (1884) Topics: Decrees; Decrees; Decrees First Line: Lord, how mysterious are thy ways! Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways! How blind are we, how mean our praise! Thy steps no mortal eyes explore; 'Tis ours to wonder and adore. 2 Great God! I do not ask to see What in futurity shall be; Let light and bliss attend my days, And then my future hours be praise. 3 Are darkness and distress my share? Give me to trust thy guardian care; Enough for me, if love divine At length through every cloud shall shine. 4 Yet this my soul desires to know, Be this my only wish below; That Christ is mine!--this great request, Grant, bounteous God, and I am blest.

Providence

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #115 (1890) Topics: Decrees; Decrees First Line: Keep silence, all created things! Lyrics: 1 Keep silence, all created things! And wait your Maker's nod; My soul stands trembling, while she sings The honors of her God. 2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown, Hang on his firm decree; He sits on no precarious throne, Nor borrows leave to be. 3 His providence unfolds the book, And makes his counsels shine; Each opening leaf, and every stroke, Fulfills some deep design. 4 My God! I would not long to see My fate with curious eyes What gloomy lines are writ for me, Or what bright scenes may rise. 5 In thy fair book of life and grace, Oh, may I find my name Recorded in some humble place, Beneath my Lord, the Lamb.
