High in the heavens, eternal God

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #171 (1917) Topics: God Providence of Lyrics: 1 High in the heavens, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens Thy designs. 2 For ever firm Thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of Thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3 Thy providence is kind and large, Both man and beast Thy bounty share; The whole creation is Thy charge, But saints are Thy peculiar care. 4 My God, how excellent Thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort springs! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of Thy wings. 5 Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of the Lord; And in Thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in Thy Word.

Whate'er His pow'rful hand has form'd, He governs with a word. 2 Ten thousand ages ere the skies Were into motion brought, All the long years and worlds to come, Stood present to his thought. 3 There's not a sparrow or a worm O'erlook'd in his decrees, He raises monarchs to a throne, Or sinks with equal ease. 4 If light attend the course I go, 'Tis He provides the rays; And 'tis his hand that hides the sun, If darkness cloud my days. 5 Trusting His wisdom and his love, I would not wish to know, What in the book of his decrees Awaits me here below. 6 Be this alone my fervent pray'r: Whate'er my lot shall be, Or joys, or sorrows, may they form My soul for heav'n and thee!

Consolatory Reflections on Providence

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #38 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Of God Providence of God First Line: 'Tis wisdom, mercy, love divine Lyrics: 1 'Tis wisdom, mercy, love divine, Which mingles blessings with our cares; And shall our thankless heart repine That we obtain not all our prayers? 2 From diffidence our sorrows flow, Short-sighted mortals, weak and blind, Bend down their eyes to earth and wo, And doubt if providence be kind. 3 Should heaven with every wish comply, Say, would the grant relieve the care? Perhaps the good for which we sigh, Might change it's name and prove a snare. 4 Were once our vain desires subdu'd, The will resign'd, the heart at rest; In every scene we should conclude, The will of heaven is right, is best.

Though trouble assail us, and dangers affright

Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #126 (1873) Topics: Attributes of God Providence Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends shall all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The Scripture assures us, The Lord will provide. 2 The birds without barn or storehouse are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written, The Lord will provide. 3 We may, like the ships, by tempest be tossed On perilous deeps, but can not be lost; Though Satan engages the wind and the tide, The promise engages, The Lord will provide. 4 His call we obey, like Abrah'm of old, Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold; For though we are strangers, we have a good guide, And trust, in all dangers, The Lord will provide. 5 No strength of our own, or goodness, we claim; But since we have known the Saviour's great name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide-- The Lord is our power--The Lord will provide. 6 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through; Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, The Lord will provide. Scripture: Genesis 22:8
