Great Lord of earth, and seas and skies!

Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Confidence and Resignation Dependence and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Great Lord of earth, and seas and skies! Thy wealth the needy world supplies; On thee alone the whole depends, Thy care to ev'ry part extends. 2 To thee perpetual thanks we owe, For all our comforts here below; Our daily bread thy bounty gives, And ev'ry rising want relieves. 3 The wastes of life thy pow'r repairs, Thy mercy stills tempestuous cares, And safe beneath thy guardian arm We live secur'd from ev'ry harm. 4 To thee we cheerful homage bring, In grateful hymns thy praises sing, Direct to thee our waiting eyes, And humbly look for fresh supplies. 5 We still our indigent and poor, Indebted much, yet lacking more; On thee we ever will depend, The rich, the sure, the faithful friend. 6 And, should thy measures seem severe, Calmly may we thy chast'ning bear, Without complaint to thee submit, Th' unerring Judge of what is fit.

Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and opprest, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call thy servant To blessedness with Thee! Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace! 3 There I shall dwell forever, No more a stranger guest, With all thy blood-bought children, In everlasting rest: The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!
