|
<p>I will sing my Maker’s praises and in Him most joyful be,<br>
|
|
For in all things I see traces of His tender love to me.<br>
|
|
Nothing else than love could move Him with such sweet and tender care<br>
|
|
Evermore to raise and bear all who try to serve and love Him.<br>
|
|
All things else have but their day, God’s great love abides for aye.</p>
|
|
<p>Yea, so dear did He esteem me that His Son he loved so well<br>
|
|
He hath given to redeem me from the quenchless flames of hell.<br>
|
|
O Thou Spring of boundless blessing, how could e’er my feeble mind<br>
|
|
Of Thy depth the bottom find though my efforts were unceasing?<br>
|
|
All things else have but their day, God’s great love abides for aye.</p>
|
|
<p>All that for my soul is needful He with loving care provides,<br>
|
|
Nor of that is He unheedful which my body needs besides.<br>
|
|
When my strength cannot avail me, when my powers can do no more,<br>
|
|
Doth my God His strength outpour; in my need He doth not fail me.<br>
|
|
All things else have but their day, God’s great love abides for aye.</p>
|
|
<p>When I sleep, He still is near me, o’er me rests His guardian eye;<br>
|
|
And new gifts and blessings cheer me when the morning streaks the sky.<br>
|
|
Were it not for God’s protection, had His countenance not been<br>
|
|
Here my guide, I had not seen e’er the end of my affliction.<br>
|
|
All things else have but their day, God’s great love abides for aye.</p>
|
|
<p>As a father never turneth wholly from a wayward child,<br>
|
|
For the prodigal still yearneth, longing to be reconciled,<br>
|
|
So my many sins and errors find a tender, pardoning God,<br>
|
|
Chastening frailty with His rod, not, in vengeance, with His terrors.<br>
|
|
All things else have but their day, God’s great love abides for aye.</p>
|
|
<p>Since, then, neither change nor coldness, in my Father’s love can be,<br>
|
|
Lo! I lift my hands with boldness, as Thy child I come to Thee.<br>
|
|
Grant me grace, O God, I pray Thee, that I may with all my might,<br>
|
|
All my lifetime, day and night, love and trust Thee and obey Thee<br>
|
|
And, when this brief life is o’er, praise and love Thee evermore.</p>
