Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design

Author: Ambrose Serle Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design, Are framed upon Thy throne above, And every dark or bending line, Meets in the center of Thy love. 2 With feeble light, and half obscure, Poor mortals Thine arrangements view; Not knowing that they least are sure, And the mysterious just and true. 3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care, Though now they seem to roam uneyed, Are led or driven only where They best and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way: But whilst they trust Thy guardian eye, Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favored soul shall meekly learn, To lay her reason at Thy throne; Too weak Thy secrets to discern, I'll trust Thee for my guide alone. Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God; Trinity Sunday; First Sunday after Trinity; Sunday after New Year's; Fourth Sunday in Lent Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (Old)

'Twas on That Night When Doomed to Know

Author: John Morrison Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals First Line: 'Twas on that night, when doomed to know Lyrics: 1. ’Twas on that night, when doomed to know The eager rage of every foe, That night in which He was betrayed, The Savior of the world took bread. 2. And after thanks and glory giv’n To Him that rules in earth and Heav’n, That symbol of His flesh He broke, And thus to all his foll’wers spoke: 3. My broken body thus I give For you, for all. Take, eat, and live. And oft the sacred rite renew That brings My saving love to view. 4. Then in His hands the cup He raised, And God anew He thanked and praised, While kindness in His bosom glowed, And from His lips salvation flowed. 5. My blood I thus pour forth, He cries, “To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; In this the covenant is sealed, And heaven’s eternal grace revealed. 6. With love to man this cup is fraught; Let all partake the sacred draught; Through latest ages let it pour, In memory of My dying hour.
