Give to the Winds Your Fears

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: God Providence Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds your fears, Hope, and be undismayed; God hears your sighs and counts your tears, God shall lift up your head, Through waves and clouds and storms He gently clears the way; Wait for His time, so shall the night Soon end in joyous day. 2 Still heavy is your heart? Still sink your 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 your thought His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work has wrought That caused your needless fear. Leave to His sovereign will To choose and to command: With wonder filled, you then shall own How wise, how strong His hand. Amen. Used With Tune: [Give to the winds your fears]

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: God Providence 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 tomorrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear 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 shall bear, Though all the field 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. Amen. Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Used With Tune: BENTLEY
