Lord, Thy Ways Are Past Our Searching

To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ, Ephesians 3:8

O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways! For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor? or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him? For of him, and through him, and for him [are] all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 11:33-36

  1. Ephesians 3:8, Romans 11:33Lord, Thy ways are past our searching,

    John 6:69, Romans 11:34Infinite Thy holy mind!

    John 20:17, 1 Thessalonians 4:13Thou dost break earth's links asunder,

    Hosea 11:4, John 11:5To Thyself our souls dost bind.

  2. Hosea 11:4, Song of Songs 8:6By the cords of love Thou drawest

    Ephesians 1:6, John 11:5Each blest object of Thy grace;

    Philippians 4:5, Psalms 140:13Thou wilt daily keep us near Thee,

    1 John 3:2, Revelation 22:4Till in heav'n we see Thy face.

  3. Romans 8:35-39, 2 Corinthians 7:5Many foes surround our footsteps;

    Romans 8:35-39, 2 Corinthians 7:6None shall mar our joy in Thee!

    Romans 8:22,23, 1 Corinthians 13:12Soon will change earth's toil and sorrow

    2 Corinthians 4:18, 1 Corinthians 13:10For a bright eternity.

  4. 1 Peter 1:8, 2 Corinthians 2:14We would trust Thee without seeing,

    John 8:12, Philippians 3:10Knowing that Thy way is blest;

    Acts 14:3, Philippians 4:12Dark or bright, in Thee confiding,

    John 14:27, Philippians 4:7Shall our hearts find peace and rest.
