The safety of trusting in God's wise Providence

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #XXI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors First Line: Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design, Are fram'd upon thy throne above, And every dark or bending line, Meets in the centre of thy love. 2 With feeble light, and half obscure, Poor mortals thy arrangements view, Not knowing that they all are sure, And, tho' mysterious, just and true. 3 Thy flock, thy own peculiar care, Tho' now they seem to roam un-ey'd, Are led by power and goodness where They best, and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way, But guided by thy piercing eye, None of their feet to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favor'd soul shall meekly learn, To lay her reason at thy throne; Too weak thy secrets to discern, I'll trust thee for my guide alone.
