Text:Commit thy way unto the Lord

CCXI. Commit thy way unto the Lord

1 Commit thy way unto the Lord,
In troubles and distress;
And let his promise be your guard,
Your trust, your hope and peace.

2 All your complaints to him are known
And open to his view;
Your ev'ry sigh and ev'ry groan,
He hears and answers too.

3 His ways and dealings all are just,
Tho' not as man request;
Yet all his dispensations must
Then answer for the best.

4 Tho' pain and sickness bear you down
Like as a heavy load;
Yet all may serve to gain the crown,
Bestow'd on you from God.

5 Here view the footsteps of his love,
And tokens of his grace,
Whom he relieves, he must reprove,
That they may learn his ways.

6 And shouldst thou pass the vale of death,
The Lord will be thy friend;
And breathing of the latest breath,
Thy life in peace shall end.
