Secure in the Arms of a Sovereign Father

This is one of my favorite hymns. I've been singing it often these days. And experiencing calm amidst crazy.

O Father, you are sovereign 
in all the worlds you made; 
your mighty Word was spoken 
and light of life obeyed.
 Your voice commands the seasons 
and bounds the ocean’s shore,
 sets stars within their courses
 and stills the tempest’s roar.

O Father, you are sovereign 
in all affairs of man;
 no powers of death or darkness 
can thwart your perfect plan.
 All chance and change transcending,
 supreme in time and space, 
you hold your trusting children 
secure in your embrace.

O Father, you are sovereign, 
the Lord of human pain,
 transmuting early sorrows
 to gold of heav’nly gain.
 All evil over ruling, as 
none but Conq’ror could, 
your love pursues its purpose- 
our souls’ eternal good.

O Father, you are sovereign, 
We see you dimly now,
 but soon before you triumph
 earth’s every knee shall bow.
 With this glad hope before us 
our faith springs up a-new:
 our sovereign Lord and Saviour, 
we trust and worship you.
