Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

While thee I seek, protecting Power 
 While thee I seek, protecting Power, Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. 
 Thy love the power of thought bestowed, To thee my thoughts would soar: Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed, That mercy I adore. 
 In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see; Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by thee. 
 In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. 
 When gladness wings my favoured hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. 
 My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storms shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on thee.
