God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Church Book #82 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning Providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His works in vain. God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

O Lord, I would delight in Thee

Author: John Ryland Hymnal: Church Book #438 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I would delight in Thee, And on Thy care depend; To Thee in every trouble flee, My best, my only Friend. 2 When all created streams are dried, Thy fulness is the same; May I with this be satisfied, And glory in Thy Name! 3 No good in creatures can be found, But may be found in Thee; I must have all things, and abound, While God is God to me. 4 O that I had a stronger faith To look within the veil, To credit what my Saviour saith, Whose word can never fail! 5 He that has made my heaven secure, Will here all good provide: While Christ is rich, can I be poor? What can I want beside? 6 O Lord, I cast my care on Thee; I triumph and adore: Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and please Thee more.
