Author: John Wesley, 1703 - 91; Paul Gerhardt, 1607 - 76 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #579 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Put thou thy trust in God,
In duty’s path go on;
Walk in his strength with faith and hope,
So shall thy work be done.
2 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into his hands,
To his sure truth and tender care
Who earth and heaven commands.
3 Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey,
He shall direct thy wandering feet,
He shall prepare thy way. A-men.
4 Leave to his sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own his way,
How wise, how strong his hand.
5 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, thy ceaseless love
Sees all thy children's wants, and knows
What best for each will prove.
6 Let us, in life, in death,
Thy steadfast truth declare,
And publish with our latest breath
Thy love and guardian care.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Languages: English Tune Title: NARENZA
