Author: Doddridge Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #546 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Great ruler of all nature's frame Lyrics:
Great ruler of all nature’s frame,
We own Thy power divine;
We hear Thy breath in every storm,
For all the winds are Thine.
Wide as they sweep their sounding way,
They work Thy sovereign will;
And awed by Thy majestic voice,
Confusion shall be still.
Thy mercy tempers every blast
To those who seek Thy face;
And mingles with the tempest’s roar
The whispers of Thy grace.
Those gentle whispers let me hear,
Till all the tumult cease;
And gales of Paradise shall lull
My weary soul to peace.
