43 | A New Selection of Hymns; designed for the use of conference meetings, private circles, and congregations, as a supplement to Dr. Watts' Psalms and Hymns#44 | 45 |
1 Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will,
Tumultuous passions all be still;
Nor let a murm'ring thought arise;
His ways are just, his councils wise.
2 He in the thickest darkness dwells,
Performs his work, the cause conceals;
But tho' his methods are unknown,
Judgment and truth support his throne.
3 In heav'n, and earth, and air, and sea,
He executes his firm decree;
And by his saints it stands confest,
That what he does is ever best.
4 Wait then, my soul, submissive wait,
Prostrate before his awful seat;
And 'midst the terrors of his rod,
Trust in a wise and gracious God.
