Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12586 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Sovereign of life, I own Thy hand
In every chastening stroke;
And, while I smart beneath Thy rod
Thy presence I invoke.
2 To Thee in my distress I cried,
And Thou hast bowed Thine ear,
Thy powerful Word my life prolonged
And brought salvation near.
3 Unfold, ye gates of righteousness,
That, with the pious throng,
I may record my solemn vows,
And tune my grateful song.
4 Praise to the Lord, whose gentle hand
Renews our laboring breath:
Praise to the Lord, who makes His saints
Triumphant e’en in death.
5 My God, in Thine appointed hour
Those heav’nly gates display,
Where pain, and sin, and fear, and death
For ever flee away.
6 There, while the nations of the blessed
With raptures bow around,
My anthems to delivering grace
In sweeter strains shall sound. Languages: English Tune Title: CLAUDIUS
