Give to the Winds Thy Fears
1. Give to the winds thy fears; hope and be undismayed. God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. 2. Through waves and clouds and storms, God gently clears thy way; wait thou God's time; so shall this night soon end in joyous day. 3. Leave to God's sovereign sway to choose and to command; so shalt thou, wondering, own that way, how wise, how strong this hand. 4. Let us in life, in death, thy steadfast truth declare, and publish with our latest breath thy love and guardian care.
