Whoso trusteth in the Lord shall be safe.
COMMIT thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,—
To his sure trust and tender care
Who earth and heaven commands;
Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey:
He shall direct thy wand’ring feet,-
He shall prepare thy way.
2 Thou on the Lord rely,
So, safe, shalt thou go on;
Fix on his work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done. No profit canst thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To him commend thy cause,—his ear
Attends the softest prayer.
Paul Gerhardt, trans. John Wesley
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
