1 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into his hands,
To his sure truth and tender care,
Who heaven and earth commands.
2 Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey;
He shall direct thy wandering feet,
He shall prepare thy way.
|
3 Thou on the Lord rely;
So safe shalt thou go on;
Fix on his work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done.
4 No profit canst thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To him commend thy cause, his ear
attends the softest prayer.
|
5 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, thy ceaseless love,
Sees all thy children's wants, and knows
What best for each will prove.
6 Thou everywhere hast sway,
And all things serve thy might;
Thy every act pure blessing is,
Thy path unsullied light.
