Commit thy Ways and Goings
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #63 (1732) Hymnal Title: Psalmodia Germanica Lyrics: I. Commit thy Ways and Goings,
And All that grieves thy Soul,
To him, whose wisest Doings
Rule all without Controul:
He makes the Times and Seasons
Revolve from Year to Year,
And knows Ways, Means, and Reasons,
When Help shall best appear.
II. Unto the Lord turn wholly,
For he will never fail
To rescue thee from Folly,
If thou dost but bewail
Thy stiff-neck'd Self-Reliance;
Shake off that Yoke of Hell,
Which ever bids Defiance
To him that governs well.
III. Trust also in him ever,
Without reluctant Will:
His Promises will never
Once come behind thy Zeal.
His Goodness knows no Measure,
His Love and Care no End,
For such as wait with Pleasure
Till he Salvation send.
IV. And he shall surely lighten
The Sorrows on thy heart,
And with his Glory brighten
Thy darken'd inward Part.
When Thou his great Salvation
With wond'ring Eyes shalt see,
Thou'lt say, without Cessation,
He loves and cares for Thee.
V. Bring to to pass, O Blessed
Above what Words can tell:
And see us all released
From Sin and Death and Hell.
Direct us, O most Holy,
In the blest heav'nly Way,
That leads through this dark Valley
To everlasting Day. Topics: Divine Providence Languages: English Tune Title: [Commit they Ways and Goings]
