Providence

Author: Helen M. Williams Appears in 687 hymnals Topics: God: The Father First Line: While thee I seek, protecting Power! Lyrics: 1 While thee I seek, protecting Power! Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled; Thy love the power of thought bestowed; To thee my thoughts would soar: Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed; That mercy I adore. 2 In each event of life how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear Because conferred by thee, In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise Or seek relief in prayer. 3 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on thee. Scripture: Psalm 116:7 Used With Tune: BRATTLE STREET
