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, He gently clears the way; Wait thou His time, so shall this night, Soon end in joyous day. What though thou rulest not, Yet heav'n and earth and hell Proclaim God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well.
