Put Thou Thy Trust in God

lyricist: Paul Gerhardt, 1656
Composer: Samuel Wesley, 1837

Put thou thy trust in God

In du­ty’s path go on;

Walk in His strength with faith and hope

So shall thy work be done.

Commit thy ways to Him

Thy works in­to His hands

And rest on His un­chang­ing Word

Who Heav’n and earth com­mands.

Though years on years roll on

His co­ve­nant shall en­dure;

Though clouds and dark­ness hide His path

The pro­mised grace is sure.

Give to the winds Thy fears;

Hope

and be un­dis­mayed;

God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;

God shall lift up thy head.

Through waves

and clouds

and storms

His pow­er will clear thy way;

Wait thou His time

the dark­est night

Shall end in bright­est day.

Leave to His sov­er­eign sway

To choose and to com­mand;

So shalt thou

won­der­ing

own His way

How wise

how strong His hand.
