Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #82 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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
Thy way, O God, is in the sea
