By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered
Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-45; Frederick Pratt Green, 1903- Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9:1-14 Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
and confidently waiting come what may,
we know that God is with us night and morning
and never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by the old year tormented,
still evil days bring burdens hard to bear.
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter suffering, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good, and so beloved, a hand.
4 Yet when again, in this same world, you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone. Topics: Close of the Year; Confidence; Eucharist; Funerals; Hope; Morning; New Year; Providence; Suffering Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD
