Give to the winds your fears; hope, and be undismayed; God hears your sighs and counts your tears, God shall lift up your head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms he gently clears your way; await his time; so shall this night soon end in joyful day. Leave to his sovereign sway to choose and to command; then you shall marvel at his way how wise, how strong his hand! 3 You see our weakness, Lord; our hearts are known to you: give strength to every failing hand and keep our footsteps true. Let us, in life, in death, your steadfast truth declare, confessing, with our final breath, your love and guardian care.
