Author: Anon. Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to thee belong The grateful heart, the joyful song; Touched by thy love, each tuneful chord Resounds the goodness of the Lord. 2 Yet why, dear Lord, this tender care? Why doth thy hand so kindly rear A useless cumberer of the ground, On which so little fruit is found? 3 Still let the barren fig-tree stand, Upheld and fostered by thy hand; Its fruit and vendure yet shall be A grateful tribute, Lord, to thee.

I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone; and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
