God moves in a mysterious way

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CLXXII (1788) Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain: God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #CLXXVII (1791) Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: 1 Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear, Thy great provider still is near; Who fed thee last, will feed thee still, Be calm and sink into his will. 2 The Lord who built the earth and sky, In mercy stoops to hear thy cry; His promise all may freely claim, "Ask and receive in Jesu's name." 3 His stores are open all and free To such as truly upright be; Water and bread he'll give for food With all things else which he sees good. 4 Your sacred hairs which are so small, By God himself are numbered all: This truth he's publish'd all abroad, That men may learn to trust the Lord. 5 The ravens daily he doth feed, And sends them food as they have need, Altho' they nothing have in store, Yet as they lack he gives them more. 6 Then do not seek, with anxious care, What ye shall eat, or drink, or wear: Your heav'nly Father will you feed, He knows that all these things you need. 7 Without reserve, give Christ your heart; Let him his righteousness impart; Then all things else he'll freely give, With him you all things shall receive. 8 Thus shall the soul be truly blest, That seeks in God his only rest, May I that happy person be, In time, and in eternity!

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #458 (1899) Topics: Trust In Providence; Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, Who rises With healing in His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let an unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens, Will give His children bread. 4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EVARTS

There's not a bird with lonely nest

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #487 (1899) Topics: Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 There’s not a bird with lonely nest, In pathless wood or mountain crest, Nor meaner thing, which does not share, O God, in Thy paternal care. 2 Each barren crag, each desert rude, Holds Thee within its solitude; And Thou dost bless the wanderer there, Who makes his solitary prayer. 3 In busy mart and crowded street, No less than in the still retreat, Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless With all a parent’s tenderness! 4 And every moment still doth bring Thy blessings on its loaded wing; Widely they spread through earth and sky, And last through all eternity! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WARE

To God I lift mine eyes

Author: John Bowdler Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #488 (1899) Topics: Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 To God I lift mine eyes, From Him is all mine aid; The God who built the skies, And earth's foundations laid. God is the tower To which I fly: His grace is nigh In every hour. 2 My feet shall never slide Or fall in fatal snares; Since God, my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears. Those wakeful eyes That never sleep, His children keep When dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there. Thou art my sun, And Thou my shade, To guard my head By night or noon. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL
