Sweet as Honey: give your griefs to Him

Commit now all your griefs 

and ways into His hands;

to His sure truth and tender care, 

who earth and heav'n commands.

Who points the clouds and storm 

He gently clears your ways;

He shall direct your wandering feet, 

He shall prepare your ways.

Give to the winds your fears;

hope, and be undismayed;

God hears your sighs and counts your tears,

God shall lift up your head.

Through waves and clouds and storms

He gently clears your way;

soon end in joyous day.

Still heavy is your heart?

Still sink your spirits down?

Cast off the weight, let fear depart,

and every care be gone.

He everywhere has sway,

and all things serve His might;

He every act pure blessing is,

His path unsullied light.

Far, far above your thought

His counsel shall appear,

when fully He the work has wrought

that caused your needless fear.

Leave to His sovereign sway

to choose and to command;

with wonder filled, you then shall own

how wise, how strong His hand.

~Gerhardt
