Hymn/Song Information

RESIGNATION TO PROVIDENCE




My God knows what I want;
He sees my helplessness,
And always readier is to grant,
Than I to ask his grace.


My fearful heart he reads—
Secures my soul from harms;
And underneath his mercy spreads
Its everlasting arms.


The fictious powers of chance
And fortune, I defy;
My life’s minutest circumstance
Is subject to his eye.


He hears the ravens call,
Nor will his children grieve;
Nor can a worthless sparrow fall,
Without my Father’s leave.


O may I doubt no more,
But in his pleasure rest:
Built on his love, his truth, and power,
My soul is truly blest.


T’ accomplish his design,
All dark events agree;
And ev'ry attribute divine
Is now at work for me.
