Author: Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Why art thou sad, O troubled soul? Refrain First Line: Leave it to him who knoweth all Lyrics: 1 Why art thou sad, O troubled soul?
There’s One that makes the wounded whole;
Upon the Lord thy burden roll,
Leave it to him,
Leave it to him.
Refrain:
Leave it to him who knoweth all,
Him who marks the sparrow’s fall,
Who listens to the raven’s call,
Leave it to him,
Leave it to him.
2 However dark thy path may be,
Tho’ trials deep may come to thee,
He rules on high thy destiny:
Leave it to him,
Leave it to him. [Refrain]
3 He cannot fail to lead thee right,
To turn to day thy darkest night,
And flood from heav’n thy path with light;
Leave it to him,
Leave it to him. [Refrain]
4 He wipes the tears from sorrow’s eyes,
He calms to peace heartbroken sighs,
And points thee upward to the skies;
Leave it to him,
Leave it to him. [Refrain]
5 Sure He who sets the mountain fast,
When all earth's clouds are overpast,
Will justify His ways at last;
Leave it to him,
Leave it to him. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Why art thou sad, O troubled soul?]
Leave It to Him
