While thee I seek, protecting Power!

Author: Williams Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 684 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Lyrics: 1 While thee I seek, protecting Power! Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. 2 Thy love the power of thought bestowed; To thee my thoughts would soar; Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed-- That mercy I adore! 3 In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by thee. 4 In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. 5 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear, That heart shall rest on thee!

Refrain: Writing, yes, writing as the moments fly, Writing, yes, writing as the days go by, Writing, yes, writing for God’s holy eye, What are you writing today? 2 What are you writing in the sight of God, To His all-seeing eye it all is plain, Read it with Him and face the record black, Then let Him wash away each shameful stain? [Refrain] 3 What is He writing in His heav’nly book. What is the record for eternity, Has the dark page been made as white as snow, Or must you face each entry by and by. [Refrain] 4 What is the record written day by day, Is there an entry of some service sweet, Some deed of love recorded by Himself, Which His approval and His smile will greet. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [What are you writing on the page of life]
