| 1 | Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care
Who earth and heaven commands; |
| 2 | Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey,
He shall direct thy wandering feet,
He shall prepare thy way. |
| 3 | Thou on the Lord rely,
So safe thou shalt go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done. |
| 4 | Thy everlasting truth,
Father! Thy ceaseless love,
Sees all Thy children’s wants, and knows
What best for each will prove. |
| 5 | Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head. |
| 6 | Through waves and clouds and storms
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day. |
| 7 | Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou wondering own His way
How wise, how strong His hand! |
| 8 | Thou seest our weakness, Lord!
Our hearts are known to Thee;
O lift Thou up the sinking hand,
Confirm the feeble knee! |
| 9 | Let us in life, in death
Thy steadfast truth declare,
And publish with our latest breath
Thy love and guardian care. Amen. |

| Matthew | 6:25-34 | 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. |
