Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #539 (1917) Lyrics: 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. Topics: Afflictions Comfort in; Anxious Care; Cares Anxious; The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy; God Care of; Providence Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE
