Commit whatever grieves thee
Commit whatever grieves thee
Into the gracious hands
Of Him Who never leaves thee,
Who Heav’n and earth
commands.
Who points the clouds their courses,
Whom winds and waves obey,
He will direct thy footsteps
And find for thee a
way.
On Him place Thy reliance
If thou wouldst be secure;
His work thou must consider
If thine is to
endure.
By anxious sighs and grieving
And self tormenting care
God is not moved to giving;
All must be gained by
prayer.
Thy truth and grace, O Father,
Most surely surely see and know
Both what is good and evil
For
mortal man below.
According to Thy counsel
Thou wilt Thy work pursue;
And what Thy wisdom chooseth
Thy might will always
do.
Thy hand is never shortened,
All things must serve Thy might;
Thine every act is blessing,
Thy path
is purest light.
Thy work no man can hinder,
Thy purpose none can stay,
Since Thou to bless Thy children
Wilt always find a
way.
Though all the powers of evil
The will of God oppose,
His purpose will not falter,
His pleasure
onward goes.
Whate’er God’s will resolveth,
Whatever He intends,
Will always be accomplished
True to His aims and
ends.
Then hope, my feeble spirit,
And be thou undismayed;
God helps in every trial
And makes thee
unafraid.
Await His time with patience,
Then shall thine eyes behold
The sun of joy and gladness
His brightest beams
unfold.
Arise, my soul, and banish
Thy anguish and thy care.
Away with thoughts that sadden
And heart
and mind ensnare!
Thou art not lord and master
Of thine own destiny;
Enthroned in highest Heaven,
God rules in
equity.
Leave all to His direction;
In wisdom He doth reign,
And in a way most wondrous
His course He
will maintain.
Soon He, His promise keeping,
With wonder-working skill
Shall put away the sorrows
That now thy spirit
fill.
A while His consolation
He may to thee deny,
And seem as though in trial
He far from thee would
fly;
A while distress and anguish
May compass thee around,
Nor to thy supplication
An answering voice be
found.
But if thou perseverest,
Thou shalt deliverance find.
Behold, all unexpected
He will thy soul
unbind
And from the heavy burden
Thy heart will soon set free;
And thou wilt see the blessing
He had in mind for
thee.
O faithful child of Heaven,
How blessèd shalt thou be!
With songs of glad thanksgiving
A crown awaiteth thee.
Into thy hand thy Maker
Will give the victor’s palm,
And thou to thy Deliverer
Shalt sing a joyous
psalm
Give, Lord, this consummation
To all our heart’s distress;
Our hands, our feet, e’er strengthen,
In death our spirits bless.
Thy truth and thy protection
Grant evermore, we pray,
And in celestial glory
Shall end our destined
way.
