LyicsWHEN thee we seek, protecting Power!
Be our vain sorrows stilled;
And may each consecrated hour
With noblest hopes be filled.
Thy love the power of thought bestowed,
To thee our thoughts would soar:
Thy mercy o'er our life has flowed--
Thy mercy we adore.
In each event of life how clear
Thy ruling hand we see!
Each blessing to our souls most dear,
Because bestowed by thee.
In every joy that crowns our days,
In every pain we bear,
Our hearts shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.
What gladness wings the destined hour,
Thy love our thoughts shall fill,
Resigned when storms of sorrow lower
Our souls shall meet thy will.
Our lifted eyes without a tear,
The gathering storm shall see,
Our steadfast hearts shall know no fear,
Those hearts will rest on thee.
