How oft I grumble and repine

Author: Herbert Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #507 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) Lyrics: 1 How oft I grumble and repine, With blessings in my hand; There’s nothing here can satisfy, Nor gold, nor house, nor land. 2 Sometimes the Lord bestows on me, His fretful child, a toy, On which I raise my prospects high, And look for certain joy. 3 But soon there’s something intervenes; I’ve something else in view; The former mercy is forgot, And I want something new. 4 [Oh! this unstable heart of mine Is like the troubled sea; The more I have, the more I want; When shall I settled be?] 5 I know this wretched world can’t fill This anxious soul of mine; O could I to my Father’s will My soul, my all resign! 6 [Sometimes, alas! I think I can; I’ll trust the world no more; But when I meet some little cross, I’m fretful as before. 7 Why am I captivated thus, By such poor trifling toys? Alas! how oft this wretched world Annoys my better joys!] 8 I want to trust, but cannot trust, A God of providence; Although he bless from day to day, I’m full of diffidence. 9 [When troubles roll in thick and fast, Ah! then my faith gives way; Sometimes I think I cannot stand, No, not another day.] 10 Sometimes, like Ephraim, I rebel, I cannot bear the yoke; I kick and murmur at the rod, And shrink at every stroke; 11 But when my Father smiles again, Then what a fool am I! ’Tis then, like Ephraim, I repent, And smite upon my thigh. 12 Like him I mourn, like him I cry, “Lord, hold me with thy hand; And draw me by thy special grace; Hold up, and I shall stand.” Scripture: Psalm 17:15 Languages: English
