First Line: Give to the winds thy fears,

Give to the winds thy fears ;
Hope, and be undismayed :
God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head,

2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
He gently clears thy way ;
Wait thou His time; so shall the night
Soon end in joyous day.

3 He everywhere hath sway,
And all things serve His might;
His every act pure blessing is,
His path unsullied light.

4 When He makes bare His arm,
What shall His work withstand ?
When He His people's cause defends,
Who, who shall stay His hand ?

5 Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command ;
With wonder filled thou then shalt own
How wise, how strong His hand.

6 Thou comprehend'st Him not ;
Yet earth and heaven tell,
God sits as Sovereign on His throne----
He ruleth all things well.

7 Thou seest our weakness, Lord,
Our hearts are known to Thee :
Oh, lift Thou up the sinking hand,
Confirm the feeble knee !

8 Let us, in life and death,
Thy steadfast truth declare ;
And publish, with our latest breath,
Thy love and guardian care.
