Verse 1

Put thou thy trust in God, In duty's path go on; Walk in His strength with faith and hope, So shall thy work be done.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

Commit thou all thy griefs And ways into His hands, To His sure truth and tender care Who earth and heaven commands.

Verse 4

Though years on years roll on, His covenant shall endure; Though clouds and darkness hide His path, The promised grace is sure.

Verse 5

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

Verse 6

Leave to His sovereign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering, own His way How wise, how strong His hand.
