Christ My Song - 851

My past, O Lord, with all its scenes - Lord, increase our faith
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Lord, increase our faith.

1. My past, O Lord, with all its scenes
  of varying good and ill,
of sorrow and of joy, has been
  the unfolding of thy will. (PDF - Midi)

2. My future, with its changing scenes
  of light and shadow sown,
is in thy hands, O God of love,
  though now to me unknown.

3. Keep me from planning brighter days,
  save me from care and pride;
give what thy wisdom deemeth right,
  and I am satisfied.

4. A fuller, warmer heart of love,
  give, gracious Lord, to me, –
a simpler, stronger, noble faith,
  and happier thoughts of thee.

Horatius Bonar, The Song of the New Creation, 1872, 136.
