Author: James Merrick (1720-1796) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #34 (1972) Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, we look to Thee,
To Thee for help we fly;
Thine eye alone our wants can see,
Thy hand alone supply.
2 Lord, let Thy fear within us dwell,
Thy love our footsteps guide:
That love will all vain love expel;
That fear, all fear beside.
3 Not what we wish, but what we want,
Oh, let thy grace supply:
The good unasked in mercy grant;
The ill, though asked, deny.
Amen. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Supplication Scripture: Psalm 90:1 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD
