Luke 4:12: While in their hands the angels bear
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
While in their hands the angels bear,
Our Father's providential care
We thankfully commend.
Safe in His guardian love confide,
But dare not by presumptuous pride
His glorious eyes offend.
Dangers we will not rashly brave,
Because Thou ready art to save,
And hid'st our life above:
A thousand proofs we daily find.
That Thou art tender of mankind,
Art Power, and Truth, and Love.
