English text

1  Commit thou all thy griefs And ways into his hands, To his sure truth and tender care, Who heaven and earth commands. 2  Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey; He shall direct thy wandering feet, He shall prepare thy way.

3  Thou on the Lord rely; So safe shalt thou go on; Fix on his work thy steadfast eye, So shall thy work be done. 4  No profit canst thou gain By self-consuming care; To him commend thy cause, his ear attends the softest prayer.

5  Thy everlasting truth, Father, thy ceaseless love, Sees all thy children's wants, and knows What best for each will prove. 6  Thou everywhere hast sway, And all things serve thy might; Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light.
