Lord, Beneath Whose Equal Hand

Author: Harriet W. Hall Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, beneath whose equal hand Present, past, and future stand, Hear us offer grateful praise For Thy gifts in bygone days; Gifts of gain and gifts of loss, Boon of crown and boon of cross, Blessings from our angels fled, Living gifts from hands long dead. 2 Children of the present, we Dare not face it without Thee. In this vivid, stern today Nerve our work, and hear us pray. Help us keep no peace with sin, Calm us by Thy peace within; Shield us from the day’s fierce light, Shine throughout the darksome night. 3 For our future, best shall be That which seemeth best to Thee! Take our starting hopes and fears, Giver of our changing years! We would make nor prayer nor moan; Thou art wise, and Thou alone, Father, in whose loving hand Present, past, and future stand.
