O Lord, my best desire fulfill
It is thy hand, my God
Author: James G. Deck Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 It is thy hand, my God;
My sorrow comes from thee:
I bow beneath thy chastening rod;
'Tis love that bruises me.

Before thee I am dumb:
Lest I should breathe one murmuring word,
To thee for help I come.
3 My God, thy name is love;
A Father's hand is thine;
With tearful eyes I look above,
And cry, "Thy will be mine!" Used With Tune: SELVIN

And all those dangers still defies.

To overwhelm my sinking soul,
Firm as a rock my faith shall stand
Upheld by God's almighty hand.

In death, 'twill guide me through the shade,
Chase all my rising fears away,
And turn my darkness into day.

Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3 While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow’s tears away;
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransom'd soul!
My faith looks up to Thee
Holy Father, Thou hast taught me

I should live to Thee alone;
Year by year, Thy hand hath brought me
On through dangers oft unknown.
When I wander'd, Thou hast found me;
When I doubted, sent me light;
Still Thine arm has been around me,
All my paths were in Thy sight.
2 In the world will foes assail me,
Craftier, stronger far than I;
And the strife may never fail me,
Well I know, before I die.
Therefore, Lord, I come, believing
Thou canst give the power I need;
Through the prayer of faith receiving
Strength--the Spirit’s strength, indeed.
3 I would trust in Thy protecting,
Wholly rest upon Thine arm;
Follow wholly Thy directing,
Thou, mine only guard from harm!
Keep me from mine own undoing,
Help me turn to Thee when tried;
Still my footsteps, Father, viewing,
Keep me ever at Thy side.
Holy Father, Thou hast taught me
Happy the man whose wishes climb

To mansions in the skies!
He looks on all the joys of time
With undesiring eyes.
2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms,
And throws her silken chain;
And wealth and fame invite his arms,
And tempt his ear in vain.
3 He knows that all these glitt'ring things
Must yield to sure decay;
And sees on time's extended wings
How swift they flee away.
4 To things unseen by mortal eyes,
A beam of sacred light
Directs his view; his prospects rise
All permanent and bright.
5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come:
Those blissful scenes on high
Shall flourish in immortal bloom,
When time and nature die.
Happy the man whose wishes climb
And art Thou with us, gracious Lord

To dissipate our fear?
Dost Thou proclaim Thyself our God,
Our God for ever near?
2 Doth Thy right hand, which form'd the earth,
And bears up all the skies,
Stretch from on high its friendly aid,
When dangers round us rise?
3 And wilt Thou lead our weary souls
To that delightful scene,
Where rivers of salvation flow
Through pastures ever green?
4 On Thy support our souls shall lean,
And banish ev'ry care;
The gloomy vale of death shall smile,
If God be with us there.
5 While we His gracious succor prove,
'Midst all our various ways,
The darkest shades through which we pass
Shall echo with His praise.
And art Thou with us, gracious Lord
God of my life, whose gracious power

Through various deaths my soul hath led,
Or turn'd aside the fatal hour,
Or lifted up my sinking head!
2 In all my ways Thy hand I own,
Thy ruling providence I see:
Assist me still my course to run,
And still direct my paths to Thee.
3 Whither, oh, whither should I fly,
But to my loving Saviour's breast;
Secure within Thine arms to lie,
And safe beneath Thy wings to rest?
4 I have no skill the snare to shun,
But Thou, O Christ! my Wisdom art:
I ever into ruin run,
But Thou art greater than my heart.
5 Foolish, and impotent, and blind,
Lead me a way I have not known;
Bring me where I my heaven may find,
The heaven of loving Thee alone.
6 Enlarge my heart to make Thee room;
Enter, and in me ever stay:
The crooked then shall straight become,
The darkness shall be lost in day.

And pitied ev'ry groan;
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I'll hasten to His throne.
2 I love the Lord; He bow'd His ear,
And chased my griefs away:
Oh, let my heart no more despair,
While I have breath to pray.
3 Among the saints that fill Thy house,
My off'ring shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.
4 The Lord beheld me sore distrest:
He bade my pains remove:
Return, my soul, to God, thy rest,
For thou hast known His love.
I love the Lord; He heard my cries
