[Notes are sung first by group.] While thee I seek, protecting power, Be my vain wishes stilled, And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. Thy love the power of thought bestowed; To thee my thoughts would soar. Thy mercy o’er my life has flowed, That mercy I adore. In each even of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see, Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by thee. In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear. My heart shall find delight in praise Or seek relief in prayer. When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill. Resigned when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see. My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart shall rest on thee. My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see. My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart shall rest on thee. |
