O God, Whose Law From Age To Age

Author: John Hayes Holmes Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #55 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O God, whose law from age to age, No chance or change can know, Whose love forever more abides, While aeons come and go; From all the strife of earthly life, To Thine embrace we flee, And ’mid our crowding doubts and fears Would put our trust in Thee. 2 The winds, Thy faithful messengers, Are guided by Thy hand, Thy ministers, the flames of fire, Obey Thy stern command; The seas resound within the bound Where Thy dominion reigns, And wheeling planets seek the paths Thy mighty will ordains. 3 Thy holy purpose moves before The nations on their way, And leads the stumbling hosts of men From darkness into day. No captain’s sword, no prophet’s word, But Thy great mercy prove; No clime or kindred but attest Thy providence of love. 4 Dear Father, we would learn to trust The doing of Thy will, And in Thy perfect law of love Our doubts and fears would still. Help us to know, in joy or woe, Thy ways are always best, And we, Thy children evermore, By Thy great goodness blest. AMEN. Topics: Glorifying God Languages: English Tune Title: ST LEONARD

O God, Whose Law from Age to Age

Author: John H. Holmes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4935 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O God, whose law from age to age No chance or change can know, Whose love forevermore abides, While eons come and go; From all the strife of earthly life, To Thine embrace we flee, And ’mid our crowding doubts and fears Would put our trust in Thee. 2. The winds, Thy faithful messengers, Are guided by Thy hand; Thy ministers, the flames of fire, Obey Thy stern command; The seas resound within the bound Where Thy dominion reigns, And wheeling planets seek the paths Thy mighty will ordains. 3. Thy holy purpose moves before The nations on their way, And leads the stumbling hosts of men From darkness into day. No captain’s sword, no prophet’s word, But Thy great mercy prove; No clime or kindred but attest Thy providence of love. 4. Dear Father, we would learn to trust The doing of Thy will, And in Thy perfect law of love Our doubts and fears would still. Help us to know, in joy or woe, Thy ways are always best, And we, Thy children evermore, By Thy great goodness blest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LEONARD (Hiles)
