Ruth 2:3: Casual howe'er our steps may seem

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Casual howe'er our steps may seem,
Directed and o'erruled by Him
Who for His people cares,
Where Providence appoints we go;
He orders all our ways we know.
And numbers all our hairs.

In small events we daily prove
The wisdom of our Father's love;
We own the work is His
From trivial incidents to raise
Matter for His eternal praise.
And our eternal bliss.
