And peace and calm con- tent; Like fragrant in-cense, to

the skies,

Let songs of grate-ful prais-es rise For all Thy bless-ings lent. A-MEN.

1. O God, whose thun- der shakes the sky, Whose eye this

To Thee, my only Rock I fly, Thy mer-cy in Thy jus- tice praise. A-MEN.

a-lone our wants can see, Thy hand a -lone supply. A-MEN.

1. A glad-some song of praise we sing, And thank-ful - ly

To bless the love of God above, Our ever lasting

In Him re-joice with heart and voice, Whose glory fad

Whose prov-i-dence is our de-fence, Who lives and loves for ever.

From dis-trust and en- vy free, Pleased with all that pleas-es Thee. A-MEN.

2 What Thou shalt to-day provide, Let me as a child receive; What to-morrow may betide,

Calmly to Thy wisdom leave: 'Tis enough that Thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear?

3 As a little child relies

On a care beyond his own,
Knows he's neither strong nor wise,

Fears to stir a step alone;-
Let me thus with Thee abide,
As my Father, Guard, and Guide,
John Newton, 1779

(SPRAGUE)

2 Yet hear us, little though we ask,
O leave us not alone;

In every thought, and word, and task,
Be near us, though unknown.

3 Still lead us, wandering in the dark,
Still send us heavenly food,

And mark, as none on earth can mark.
Our struggle to be good.

Alfred Ainger, 1837
