Hope encouraged by a view of the divine perfections

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Lyrics: 1 Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Why heaves my heart the anxious sigh? Can sovereign goodness be unkind? Am I not safe if God is nigh? 2 He holds all nature in his hand: That gracious hand on which I live, Does life, and time, and death command, And has immortal joys to give. 3 'Tis he supports this fainting frame, On him alone my hopes recline; The wondrous glories of his name, How wide they spread! how bright they shine! 4 Infinite wisdom! boundless power! Unchanging faithfulness and love! Here let me trust, while I adore, Nor from my refuge e'er remove. 5 My God, if thou art mine indeed, Then I have all my heart can crave; A present help in times of need, Still kind to hear, and strong to save. 6 Forgive my doubts, O gracious Lord, And ease the sorrows of my breast; Speak to my heart the healing word, That thou art mine—and I am blest.
