Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #93 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 utmost 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.
Amen. Topics: Decrees of God; Doubt; God Sovereignty of ; Mystery of God's Ways; Trust in God Scripture: Job 11:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
