Providence.
Lord! thy providential careThrough life’s journey may we share;Knowing, from thy throne above,Thou regardest us with love.Daily give us food to eat,Peaceful homes, and raiment meet;All our earthly wants supplyWith a Father’s watchful eye.Guard by thine Almighty powerIn temptation’s trying hour;And each chast’ning sorrow blessTo eternal happiness.Sunshine and alternate rainMake the green herbs spring amain;May the joys or pains we knowCause our hearts in grace to grow.Mighty Father, Prince of Peace,Give thy kingdom vast increase;Make thy sons in every landCountless as the sea-side sand.Day by day our souls advanceTo their heavenly heritance,Till at last they calmly restIn thy glorious presence blest.
