  1. 1Give to the winds your fears,In hope be undismayed;God hears thy sighs and counts your tears,God shall lift up thy head;Thru waves and clouds and storms,He gently clears thy way;Wait for His time, so shall the nightSoon end in joyous day.
  2. 2Far, far above thy tho’tHis counsel shall appear,When fully He the work has wroughtThat caused your needless fear.Leave to His sov’reign willTo choose and to command;With wonder filled you then shall ownHow wise, how strong His hand.
