my shield and tower.

I shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
to heaven ascend;
I shall behold his face,
I shall his power adore
and sing the wonders of his grace
for evermore.

his kingdom he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light

his wonders to perform;
he plants his footsteps in the sea,
and rides upon the storm.

with never-failing skill
he treasures up his bright designs,
and works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy, and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
but trust him for his grace;
behind a frowning providence
he hides a smiling face.

and scan his work in vain,
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Scripture: Ephesians 1:9 Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
