“Give To the Winds Thy Fears”
 By Paul Gerhardt, 1656 Translated by John Wesley,
1737

Give to the winds thy fears,
 Hope and be undismayed. God hears thy sighs and counts
thy tears, God shall lift up thy head.

Through waves and clouds and storms,
 He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time;
so shall this night Soon end in joyous day.

Still heavy is thy heart?
 Still sinks thy spirit down? Cast off the world, let 
fear depart Bid every care begone.

What though Thou rulest not;
 Yet heaven, and earth, and hell Proclaim, God sitteth
on the throne, And ruleth all things well.

And whatsoe’er Thou will’st,
 Thou dost, O King of kings; What Thine unerring wisdom
chose, Thy power to being brings.

Leave to His sovereign sway
 To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering,
own that way, How wise, how strong this hand.

Far, far above thy thought,
 His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath
wrought, That caused thy needless fear.

Thou seest our weakness, Lord;
 Our hearts are known to Thee; O lift Thou up the
sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee!

Let us in life, in death,
 Thy steadfast truth declare, And publish with our latest
breath Thy love and guardian care.
