637. S. M. Moravian.
Reliance on God.
1Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs, God counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
2Through waves, through clouds and storms,
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou his time, so shall the night
Soon end in joyous day.
3He everywhere hath rule,
And all things serve his might;
His every act pure blessing is,
His path unsullied light.
4Thou seest our weakness, Lord,
Our hearts are known to thee:
O, lift thou up the sinking hand,
Confirm the feeble knee!
5Let us, in life or death,
Boldly thy truth declare;
And publish, with our latest breath,
Thy love and guardian care.
