God of my life, whose gracious power
1
God of my life, whose gracious powerThrough varied scenes my soul hath led,Or turned aside the fatal hour,Or lifted up my sinking head,
2
In all my ways thy hand I own,Thy ruling providence I see;Assist me still my course to run,And still direct my paths to thee.
3
How do thy mercies close me round!Forever be thy name adored;I blush in all things to abound;The servant of a gracious Lord.
4
I have no skill the snare to shun,But thou O God, my wisdom art:I ever into danger run,But thou art greater than my heart.
5
I rest beneath thy kindly shade;My griefs expire, my troubles cease;Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed,Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.
