1 Give to the winds thy fears;
hope, and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
2 Through waves and clouds, and storms
he gently clears thy way;
Wait thou his time, so shall the night
soon end in joyous day.
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.
4 Far, far above thy thought
his counsel shall appear,
when fully he the work hath wrought
that caused thy needless fear.
