Tune:[A thousand wants thy path attend]
Composer:C. H. Forrest

268. A Thousand Wants

1 A thousand wants thy path attend:—
Ten thousand blessings God will send.

2 What tho’ yon threat’ning clouds appal?
God’s mercy tow’rs above them all.

3 What tho’ temptations round thee spread?
God’s “open door” is just ahead.

4 Ways of escape seem lost in night:—
God’s “way” awaits thy wondering sight.

5 Deep unto deep perchance may call:—
Jehovah will respond to all.

6 What need soe’er thy heart descries,
That is the need thy God supplies.

7 O’er the calm current of His will
Grace bears thee onward, homeward still.
