Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #155 (1888) First Line: Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb Lyrics: 1 Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb
To search the starry vault profound;
In vain would wing her flight sublime,
To find creation's outmost bound.
2 But weaker yet that thought must prove
To search thy great eternal plan,--
Thy sovereign counsels, born of love
Long ages ere the world began.
3 When my dim reason would demand
Why that, or this, thou dost ordain,
By some vast deep I seem to stand,
Whose secrets I must ask in vain.
4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast,
And all is dark as night to me,
Here, as on solid rock, I rest;
That so it seemeth good to thee.
5 Be this my joy, that evermore
Thou rulest all things at thy will:
Thy sovereign wisdom I adore,
And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still. Topics: Decrees Spiritual; God: The Father Scripture: Genesis 18:25 Languages: English Tune Title: LOUVAN
