Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power Through various deaths my soul hath led, Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head! 2 In all my ways Thy hand I own, Thy ruling providence I see: Assist me still my course to run, And still direct my paths to Thee. 3 I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou, O God, my Wisdom art; I ever into ruin run: But Thou art greater than my heart. 4 Foolish, and impotent, and blind, Lead me a way I have not known; Bring me where I my heaven may find, The heaven of loving Thee alone. 5 Enlarge my heart to make Thee room; Enter, and in me ever stay: The crooked then shall straight become, The darkness shall be lost in day. Amen. Used With Tune: FOREST

Give to the winds thy fears

Appears in 518 hymnals Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: Part the Second. 1 Give to the winds thy fears, Hope, and be undismay'd, God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head; Thro' waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 2 Still heavy is thy heart, Still sink thy spirits down; Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And ev'ry care be gone. What tho' thou rulest not, Yet heav'n, and earth, and hell, Proclaim God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 3 Leave to his sov'reign sway To chuse and to command, So shalt thou wond'ring own his way, How wise, how strong his hand! Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work that wrought, That caus'd thy needless fear. 4 Thou seest our weakness, Lord, Our hearts are known to thee; O lift thou up the sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee: Let us in life, in death, Thy stedfast truth declare, And publish, with our latest breath Thy love and guardian care.

O worship the King all-glorious above

Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Meter: 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5 Appears in 1,148 hymnals Topics: Adoration and Praise; Anxiety; Creation; Light; Majesty of God; Mercy of God; Mystery of God's Love; Protection; Providence; Trust in God; Worship Earthly and Heavenly; Worship Processional Entrance Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above, O gratefully sing his power and his love: our shield and defender, the ancient of days, pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; his chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your power has founded of old, established it fast by a changeless decree, and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail: your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our maker, defender, redeemer and friend. 6 O measureless might, ineffable love. While angels delight to hymn you above, the humbler creation, though faltering their praise, With true adoration shall sing all their days. Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6-8 Used With Tune: HANOVER
