The Mystery of Providence unfolded

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #131 (1740) First Line: Sure there is a righteous GOD Lyrics: 1 Sure there is a righteous GOD, Nor is Religion vain; Though Men of Vice may boast aloud, And Men of Grace complain. 2 I saw the Wicked rise, And felt my Heart repine, While haughty fools, with scornful Eyes In Robes of Honour shine. 3 [Pamper'd with wanton Ease, Their Flesh looks full and fair; Their Wealth rolls in like flowing Seas, And grows without their Care. 4 Free from the Plagues and Pains That pious Souls endure; Through all their Life Oppression reigns, And racks the humble Poor. 5 Their impious Tongues blaspheme The everlasting GOD; Their Malice blasts the good Man's Name, And spreads their Lies abroad. 6 But I, with flowing Tears Indulg'd my Doubts to rise; "Is there a GOD that sees or hears "The things below the Skies?"] 7 The Tumults of my Thought Held me in hard Suspense, Till to thy House my feet were brought, To learn thy Justice thence. 8 Thy Word with Light and Pow'r Did my Mistakes amend; I view'd the Sinner's Life before, But here I learnt their End. 9 On what a slipp'ry Steep The thoughtless Wretches go! And O that dreadful fi'ry Deep That waits their Fall below! 10 Lord, at thy feet I bow, My thoughts no more repine; I call my GOD my Portion now, And all my Pow'rs are thine.
