Original text and translations

English text

1  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. 2  Commit thy ways to him, Thy works into his hands, And rest on his unchanging word, Who heaven and earth commands.

3  Though years on years roll on, His covenant shall endure; Though cloud and darkness hide his path, The promised grace is sure. 4  Give to the winds thy fears; Hope and be undismayed: God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head.

5  Through waves and clouds and storms His power will clear thy way: Wait thou his time; the darkest night Shall end in brightest day. 6  Leave to his sovereign way To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering, own his way, How wise, how strong his hand.
