Give to the winds thy fears

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #CLXVIII (1791) Lyrics: Part the Second. 1 Give to the winds thy fears, Hope, and be undismay'd, God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head; Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way Wait thou this time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 2 Still heavy is thy heart, Still sink thy spirits down; Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And ev'ry care begone. What tho' thou rulest not, Yet heav'n, and earth, and hell, Proclaim God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 3 Leave to his sov'reign sway To choose and to command, So shalt thou wond'ring own his way, How wise, how strong his hand! Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work that wrought, That caus'd thy needless fear. 4 Thou seest our weakness, Lord, Our hearts are known to thee; O lift thou up the sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee: Let us in life, in death, Thy stedfast truth declare, And publish, with our latest breath Thy love and guardian care.
