The Mysteries of Providence
Shine on our souls, eternal God!
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: God Providence of Lyrics: 1 Shine on our souls, eternal God!
With rays of beauty shine;
Oh, let Thy favor crown our days,
And their whole course be Thine.
2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee,
Our hands might toil in vain:
Small joy success itself could give,
If Thou Thy love restrain.
3 'Tis ours the furrows to prepare,
And sow the precious grain:
'Tis Thine to give the sun and air,
And to command the rain.
4 With Thee let every week begin,
With Thee each day be spent,
For Thee each fleeting hour improved,
Since each by Thee is lent.
5 Thus cheer us through this toilsome road
Till all our labors cease;
And heaven refresh our weary souls
With everlasting peace.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MARTIN'S

Dark Providence
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: Of God Providence of God First Line: Thy way, O God, is in the sea Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea;
Thy paths I cannot trace:
Nor comprehend the mystery
Of thy unbounded grace.
2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense
My captive soul surround;
Mysterious deeps of providence
My wond'ring thoughts confound.
3 As thro' a glass, I dimly see
The wonders of thy love;
How little do I know of thee,
Or of the joys above!
4 'Tis but in part I know thy will:
I bless thee for the sight;
When will thy love the rest reveal,
In glory's clearer light?
5 With raptures shall I then survey
Thy providence and grace;
And spend an everlasting day
In wonder, love, and praise. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:9

Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Johann J. Schütz; Frances E. Cox Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: God Providence Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of pow'r, the God of love,
The God of our salvation;
With healing balm my soul He fills,
And ev'ry faithless murmur stills:
To God all praise and glory.
2 What God's almighty pow'r hath made
His gracious mercy keepeth;
By morning glow or evening shade
His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
Within the kingdom of His might,
Lo! all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory.
3 The Lord is never far away,
But, through all grief distressing,
An ever-present help and stay,
Our peace, and joy and blessing;
As with a mother's tender hand,
He leads His own, His chosen band:
To God all praise and glory.
4 Thus all my gladsome way along,
I sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises,
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart,
Both soul and body bear your part:
To God all praise and glory.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Sing praise to God who reigns above]

And built the lofty skies.

The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God's command
And all the stars obey.

That filled the earth with food;
That formed creation with a word,
And then pronounced it good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed
Where'er I turn my eye;
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!
3 There's not a plant or flow'r below
But makes your glories known;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from your throne;
While all that borrows life from you
Is ever in your care,
And ev'rywhere that I may be,
O God, be present there. Scripture: Genesis 1:12 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

From all evil pow'rs He spares them;
In his mighty arms He bears them.

From the Lord His children sever;
For to them His grace revealing,
He turns sorrow into healing.

but His children ne’er forsaken;
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy. Used With Tune: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA
