Give to the Winds Thy Fears

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; John Wesley, 1703-1791 Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Peace and Contentment Lyrics: 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, Through waves and clouds and storms He gently clears the way; Wait thou His time, so shall the 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 every care be gone. He everywhere has sway, And all things serve His mind; His every act pure blessing is, His path unsullied light. 3 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. Leave to His sovereign will To choose and to command: With wonder filled, thou then shalt own How wise, how strong His hand. Amen. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Matthew 6:25-34

Author: William Cowper Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: Sometimes a light surprises Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing, But he will bring us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe his people too: Beneath the spreading heavens, No creature but is fed; And he who feeds the ravens, Will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither, Their wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks, nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice, For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.
