Give to the winds thy fears

1Give to the winds thy fears, Hope and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, He shall lift up thy head.

2Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day.

3Thou on the Lord rely, So safe shalt thou go on; Fix on his work thy steadfast eye, So shall thy work be done.

4No profit canst thou gain, By self-consuming care; To him commend thy cause, his ear Attends the softest prayer.

5Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And every care be gone.
