GIVE to the winds thy fears;Hope, and be undismayed;God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head.
Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way;Wait thou his time; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day.
What though thou rulest not? Yet heaven and earth and hellProclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well!
Leave to his sovereign sway To choose and to command;So shalt thou, wondering, own his way How wise, how strong his hand!
Thou seest our weakness, Lord; Our hearts are known to thee:Oh lift thou up the sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee.
Let us, in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare,And publish with our latest breath Thy love and guardian care.
