Thy way, O God, is in the sea

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: Dark Providence 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

Questionings and Comfort

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Spiritual Darkness First Line: To God will I direct my prayer Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness, Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Tho' I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my tho'ts shall dwell. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: FILLMORE

[Refrain] 3 Though I should wander the valley of death, I fear no evil, for you are at my side, your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope. [Refrain] 4 You have set me a banquet of love in the face of hatred, crowning me with love beyond my power to hold. [Refrain] 5 Surely your kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of my God forevermore. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: SHEPHERD ME
