How condescending is our God! 3 He over-rules all mortal things, And manages our mean affairs; On humble souls the King of kings Bestows His counsels and His cares. 4 Our sorrows and our tears we pour Into the bosom of our God; He hears us in the mournful hour, And helps us bear the heavy load." 5 O could our thankful hearts devise A tribute equal to Thy grace, 1 To the third heaven our songs should rise, C.M. 5 He is faithful that promised.—Heb. 10, 23.
