Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea; Thy paths we cannot trace, Nor comprehend the mystery Of Thine unbounded grace. As through a glass we dimly see The wonders of Thy love; How little do we know of Thee, Or of the joys above! 'Tis but in part we know Thy will; We bless Thee for the sight: Soon will Thy love the rest reveal, In glory's clearer light. With rapture shall we then survey Thy providence and grace; And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love, and praise. John Fawcett
Copied from my grandmother’s hymnal, Hymn Book, Methodist Episcopal Church, South: Nashville, TN, 1901, Hymn #45.
Note: The hymns in this hymnal are not titled. So when I do not know the hymn, I make up a title or simply use the first line.

Missed you last week Angela. I’ve said before and I’ll say again I love that you post these. Seeing the words to songs, even those that are unfamiliar to me, tells me the truth of the adage “he who sings prays twice.” Thanks for the Sunday prayers!

Thank you, Tim, and I’m sorry I was not here last week. I honestly thought I had scheduled the post in advance, and I was as surprised as you were that it wasn’t there. Our family is facing a new challenge these days, and it’s eating at my time. But Lord willing, I shall find ways to carve out more time to write and to share these hymns and other gems God drops in my lap. Happy Sunday!
