Not One Step More, Heavenly Father

Author: John Robertson, L.L. D. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Not one step more, Heav'nly Father Lyrics: 1 Not one step more, Heav'nly Father, Would I take without Thy call; Prone to race and rush — oh, rather At Thy feet now would I fall! Eyes, be blind, for God to view it; Feet be stopp'd, leave Him the road; Hands can only touche to rue it; soul, be still, know He is God! 2 Praise to God! He often cresses Plans and schemes poor self has form'd, And for reckon'd gains have losses Sprung where God's dark purpose storm'd, But I bless Him that His thunder, Spake His grace into my soul, And my heart melts at the wonder God has brought good from the whole. 3 Gourds have perish'd, but I would not Like impatient Jonah be; God is God, and oh, I could not Trace my road so well as He; Darkest hour before the dawning, Shadows thickest just before, Lifting, show they're but the awning Drawn around our Father's door. 4 Bless His name! He ever mindeth His Blood-Covenant with me; And the would that trusts Him findeth Good in all life's mystery: so I worship, heart adoring, God's kind Providence, and cease All my fretful ways, imploring God's forgiveness and His peace.
