Hymns using same tune:

#493, #945

 

 1  The Lord will silently plan for thee,

    Thou object of omniscient care;

    God undertakes Himself to be

    Thy Pilot through each subtle snare.

 

 2  The Lord will silently plan for thee,

    So certainly, He cannot fail!

    Rest on the faithfulness of God,

    In Him thou surely shalt prevail.

 

 3  The Lord will silently plan for thee,

    Some wonderful surprise of love.

    Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard,

    But it is kept for thee to prove.

 

 4  The Lord will silently plan for thee,

    His purpose He'll to thee unfold;

    The tangled skein shall shine at last,

    A masterpiece of skill untold.

 

 5  The Lord will silently plan for thee,

    A happy child kept in His care

    As though no other claimed His love,

    But thou alone to Him wert dear.
