Text: | Commit Thou All Thy Griefs |
Author: | Paul Gerhardt |
Translator: | John Wesley |
Tune: | SCHUMANN |
Composer: | Robert Schumann |
1 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care,
Who earth and heaven commands.
2 Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey,
He shall direct thy wandering feet,
He shall prepare thy way.
3 Thou on the Lord rely,
So safe, shalt thou go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done.
4 No profit canst thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To Him commend thy cause, His ear
Attends the softest prayer.
5 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, Thy ceaseless love,
Sees all Thy children's wants, and knows
What best for each will prove.
6 Thou everywhere hast sway,
And all things serve Thy might,
Thy every act pure blessing is,
Thy path unsullied light.
AMEN.
