LyicsGIVE to the winds thy fears;
Hope, and be undismay'd;
God hears thy signs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
Thro' waves, thro' clouds, and storms,
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.
Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully He the work hath wrought
That cause'd thy needless fear.
What, though thou rulest not!
Yet heav'n, and earth, and hell
Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne,
And ruleth all things well!
