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.

How long shall they afflict Thy saints And devastate Thy chosen land? 3 The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smith; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. 4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High? 5 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From Him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 7 The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. 8 Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What man for me will valiant stand? 9 Unless the Lord had been my help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. 10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 11 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my refuge and my tower. 12 Our God, the refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be.
