Sovereign Ruler of the Skies
Sovereign ruler of the skies,
Ever gracious, ever wise,
All my times are in your hand,
All events at your command!
His decree, who formed the earth,
Fixed my first and second birth;
Parents, native place, and time,
All appointed were by Him
He who formed me in the womb
He shall guide me to the tomb.
All my times shall ever be,
Ordered by His wise decree!
Times of sickness, times of health,
Times of poverty and of wealth;
Times of trial, and of grief
Times of triumph, and relief.
Plagues and death around me fly;
Till he bids, I cannot die!
Not a single shaft can hit,
Till the God of love sees fit!
John Ryland (1753-1825)

Appropriate words for our current times. So thankful that God truly is in control and we can place our hope and trust in Him
Beautiful sky and a beautiful hymn.
In answer to your question. Yes, our church services are live on FB. We watched this morning and will at 7 tonight. There was no Sunday School though.
