Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCV (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Submission to the all-wise Decrees Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!

I would not ask to see What in futurity shall be: If light and bliss attend my days, Then let my future hours be praise. 4 Is darkness and distress my share, Then let me trust thy guardian care; Enough for me, if love divine At length through every cloud shall shine. 5 Yet this my soul desires to know, Be this my only wish below, "That I am thine!" — This great request Grant, bounteous God, — and I am blest!
