Commit Thou All Thy Griefs
Paul Gerhardt (1653) • John Wesley (1737) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 37:5
Verse 1
Commit thou all thy griefs And ways into His hands, To His sure truth and tender care, Who earth and heaven commands.
Verse 2
Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey, He shall direct thy wandering feet, He shall prepare thy way.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
No profit canst thou gain By self-consuming care; To Him commend thy cause, His ear Attends the softest prayer.
Verse 5
Thy everlasting truth, Father, Thy ceaseless love, Sees all Thy children's wants, and knows What best for each will prove.
Verse 6
Thou everywhere hast sway, And all things serve Thy might, Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light. AMEN.
