Thy way is in the sea

John Fawcett • English

Primary Scripture: Exodus 15:11

Verse 1

Thy way is in the sea; Thy paths we can not trace; Nor solve, O Lord, the mystery Of thy unbounded grace.

Verse 2

Here the dark veils of sense Our captive souls surround; Mysterious deeps of providence Our wandering thoughts confound.

Verse 3

As through a glass we see The wonders of thy love; How little do we know of thee, Or of the joys above!
