Lyics

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, through clouds and storms,

He gently clears thy way;

Wait thou his time; so shall this night

Soon end in joyous day.



Still heavy is thy heart!

Still sink thy spirits down!

Cast off the weight, let fear depart,

Bid every care be gone.



Far, far above thy thought

His counsel shall appear,

When fully he the work hath wrought

That caused thy needless fear.



What, though thou rulest not!

Yet heaven, and earth, and hell

Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne,

And ruleth all things well!
