O Father, you are sovereign, the Lord of human pain,
Transmuting earthly sorrows to gold of heav'nly gain.
All evil overruling, as none but Conqu'ror could,
Your love pursues its purpose- our souls' eternal good
I just thought I would share a striking verse from a hymn that we sung yesterday at Zion Church. Sometimes it seems that the fact that God is sovereign and pursuing our good eliminates the philosophical "problem of pain." I know that that is a simplistic answer and that there are real people who are really hurting. But it is very comforting that God is the "Lord of human pain."
