327. Commit Thy way, confiding

1 Commit Thy way, confiding,
When trials here arise,
To Him whose hand is guiding
The tumults of the skies.
There clouds and tempests, raging,
Have all their path assigned;
Will God, for thee engaging,
No way of safety find?

2 Trust in the Lord! His favor
Will for thy wants provide;
Regard His word!--and ever
Thy work shall safe abide.
When sorrows here o'ertake thee,
And self-inflicted care,
Let not thy God forsake thee!
He listens for thy prayer.

3 Hope on! thou weak believer,
Hope on, and falter not!
He will thy soul deliver
From deeps of troubled thought:
Thy graces He will nourish,
With hope thy heart employ,
Till faith and hope shall flourish
And yield their fruits of joy.

4 The sorrows, Lord, that try us,
Oh bring them to an end!
With needed strength supply us,
From ever foe defend!
Let us, till death pursuing
The best--Thy chosen--way,
In heaven our life renewing,
Praise Thee in endless day.
