-{{Vs|1}} Commit thou all thy griefs
-And ways into his hands,
-To his sure truth and tender care,
-Who heaven and earth commands.
-{{Vs|2}} Who points the clouds their course,
-Whom winds and seas obey;
-He shall direct thy wandering feet,
-He shall prepare thy way.
-{{mdl|3}}
-{{Vs|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.
-{{Vs|4}} No profit canst thou gain
-By self-consuming care;
-To him commend thy cause, his ear
-attends the softest prayer.
-{{mdl|3}}
-{{Vs|5}} Thy everlasting truth,
-Father, thy ceaseless love,
-Sees all thy children's wants, and knows
-What best for each will prove.
-{{Vs|6}} Thou everywhere hast sway,
-And all things serve thy might;
-Thy every act pure blessing is,
-Thy path unsullied light.
