Hey guys! Would love any feedback you have on how to improve this hymn, especially related to the tune. I just recorded the first two stanzas here, but it’s the same melody all the way.
—
Father, give me eyes to see
Beauty in Your sovereignty.
Give me faith to trust Your ways,
For You’ve numbered all my days.
Though I may not understand
All the workings of Your plan,
Help me trust You as I should;
Help me see that You are good.
Father, when my joy is full
Keep my faith from growing dull
Keep me far from pride and greed,
Still to trust You for each need.
Fix my eyes upon this truth:
All I have has come from You.
Let me boast in nothing more
Than the goodness of my Lord.
Father, when my spirit groans
And I feel I am alone
Help me see Your tender care
In each burden that I bear.
Use my trials and my pain
All for growth and godly gain
Lord, I know that You are good;
Help me trust You as I should.
Father, give me eyes to see
Christ enthroned in majesty
Bathe me in Your radiant light
Turn my faith to glorious sight
Lord, I long to see Your face
And to join the angels’ praise,
But until that blessed day,
I will trust Your perfect ways.
