Methodist-Hymns-513
1: WHO fathoms the eternal thought?
Who talks of scheme and plan?
The Lord is God! He needeth not
The poor device of man.
2: Here in the maddening maze of things,
When tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed ground my spirit clings;
I know that God is good!
3: I long for household voices gone,
For vanished smiles I long;
But God hath led my dear ones on,
And He can do no wrong.
4: I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
5: And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain,
The bruised reed He will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.
6: No offering of my own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
7: And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar;
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
8: I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
