THE SOUL COMMITTING ITSELF TO GOD.
"Shew me Thy ways, O Lord: teach me thy paths."—Psalm xxv. 4.
"Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee."—Psalm lxxiii. 25.
Father, for pleasant paths on earth
My spirit yearneth not;
For loving kindreds clasping hands
And home I ask Thee not.
I would forego all anxious thought
And cast on Thee my care,
Content to see Thy love in all,
To trace Thee everywhere.
My spirit yearneth not;
For loving kindreds clasping hands
And home I ask Thee not.
I would forego all anxious thought
And cast on Thee my care,
Content to see Thy love in all,
To trace Thee everywhere.
Teach me to listen for Thy voice
When the storm howleth loud;
Help me to look for light from Thee
Beneath the darkest cloud;
To feel Thy hand the tempest rules,
That Thou canst hear and save,
That Thou hast bounded by Thy will
The wildest, stormiest wave.
When the storm howleth loud;
Help me to look for light from Thee
Beneath the darkest cloud;
To feel Thy hand the tempest rules,
That Thou canst hear and save,
That Thou hast bounded by Thy will
The wildest, stormiest wave.
The thunder yet was ne'er so loud
To drown the soul's faint cry,
Nor cloud so dark to hide Thy child
From Thine all-seeing eye.
To drown the soul's faint cry,
Nor cloud so dark to hide Thy child
From Thine all-seeing eye.
