Religion

The Lord hath done great things for thee!

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From New Year Verses

Religion

The Lord hath done great things for thee !
All through the fleeted days
Jehovah hath dealt wondrously ;
Lift up thy heart and praise !
For greater things thine eyes shall see,
Child of His loving choice !
The Lord will do great things for thee ;
Fear not, be glad, rejoice !

The Lord hath dealt with thee !
Wondrous mercy all the way,
Wondrous patience every day,
Wondrous pardon, wondrous feeling,
Wondrous help and wondrous leading
Through the bygone year.
Wondrously
The Lord shall deal with thee !

Wondrous tenderness and grace,
Wondrous shining of His face,
Wondrous faithfulness and power,
Wondrous love, shall twine each bower
Through the coming year !
