Author: Ambrose Searle Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #476 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design,
Are framed upon Thy throne above,
And every dark or bending line,
Meets in the centre of Thy love.
2 With feeble light, and half obscure,
Poor mortals Thine arrangements view;
Not knowing that they all are sure,
And the mysterious just and true.
3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care,
Though now they seem to roam uneyed,
Are led and driven only where
They best, and safest may abide.
4 They neither know nor trace the way:
But while they trust Thy guardian eye,
Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray,
Nor shall the weakest fail or die.
5 My favored soul shall meekly learn
To lay her reason at Thy throne;
Too weak Thy secrets to discern,
I'll trust Thee for my guide alone.
Amen. Topics: Providence; Trust In Providence Languages: English Tune Title: WELTON
