“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ephesians 5:19,20 (66.84.D. Dolwyddelan)
With thankful heart I praise
The God who reigns supreme:
His providence and sweetest grace
My constant theme.
The storm and wind may blow,
My life in turmoil be,
But I believe, and this I know –
He pilots me.
Submissive to His will
Are land and sea and sky,
When He commands the waves are still,
They hear His cry.
The Lord who shaped the earth,
And called a world to sight,
Who brought about a mighty birth,
Is Lord of light.
I trust this Mighty One
Who took my guilt away;
He saw the suffering of his Son,
My sin did slay.
What wondrous love I see
That took my shame and loss;
For Jesus Christ the penalty
Paid on the Cross.
Whatever life may hold,
In joy or burden sad,
My God will all my time unfold,
And make me glad.
He is the God of grace,
Who rules my span of life;
His sovereign power and sweet embrace
Remove the strife.
All things are in His hand,
I thankfully rejoice;
His mercy grants me strength to stand,
And heed His voice.
A song of joy within,
Inspired by Calvary –
This act divine my heart did win –
Sweet melody.
