Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways! How blind are we! how mean our praise! Thy steps can mortal eyes explore? 'Tis ours to wonder and adore! 2 Thy deep decrees from creature sight Are hid in shades of awful night; Amid the lines, with curious eye, Nor angels minds presume to pry. 3 Great God! 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!

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #64 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways! How blind are we, how mean our praise! Thy steps no mortal eyes explore; 'Tis ours to wonder and adore. 2 I do not ask that I may see What in the future waits for me; Let righteousness attend my days, And thine shall be the humble praise. 3 Are darkness and distress my share? Give me to trust thy guardian care; Enough for me, if love divine At length through every cloud shall shine. 4 Yet this my soul desires to know, Be this my only wish below, That Christ is mine! this great request, Grant, bounteous God, and I am blest.
