Now I know thy promised rest
Can compose a troubled mind.
You that weary are like me ;
Hearken to the gospel call,
To the ark for refuge flee,
Jesus will receive you all !

Light shining out of Darkness. C.
1 GOD moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform ;
He plants his footsteps in the sea.
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace :
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour ;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
