Now I'm convinc'd the Lord is kind

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 78:1-10 Lyrics: 1 Now I’m convinc'd the Lord is kind To men of heart sincere, Yet once my foolish thoughts repin'd, And border'd on despair. 2 I griev'd to see the wicked thrive, And spoke with angry breath, “How pleasant and profane they live! How peaceful is their death! 3 With well-fed flesh and haughty eyes, They lay their fears to sleep; Against the heavens their slanders rise, While saints in silence weep. 4 In vain I lift my hands to pray, And cleanse my heart in vain; For I am chast'ned all the day, The night renews my pain." 5 Yet while my tongue indulg'd complaints, I felt my heart reprove; "Sure I shall thus offend thy saints, And grieve the men I love." 6 But still I found my doubts too hard, The conflict too severe; 'Till I retir'd to search thy word, And learn thy secrets there. 7 There as in some prophetic glass, I saw the sinner’s feet High mounted on a slipp'ry place Beside a fiery pit. 8 I heard the wretch profanely boast, 'Till at thy frown he fell; His honours in a dream were lost, And he awakes in hell. 9 Lord, what an envious fool I was! How like a thoughtless beast! Thus to suspect thy promis'd grace, And think the wicked blest. 10 Yet I was kept from full despair, Upheld by pow'r unknown; That blessèd hand that broke the snare Shall guide me to thy throne.
