Commit Thou All Thy Griefs

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs And ways into His hands, To His sure truth and tender care, Who earth and heav'n commands: Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey, He shall direct thy wand'ring feet, He shall prepare thy way. 2 Thou on the Lord rely, So safe shalt thou go on; Fix on His work thy steadfast eye, So shall thy work be done. No profit canst Thou gain By self-consuming care; To Him commend thy cause; His ear Attends the softest prayer. 3 Thy everlasting truth, Father, Thy ceaseless love, Sees all Thy children’s wants, and knows What best for each will prove. And whatsoe'er Thou will'st, Thou dost, O King of kings! What Thine unerring wisdom chose, Thy power to being brings. 4 Thou everywhere hast sway, And all things serve Thy might; Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light. When Thou arisest, Lord, What shall Thy work withstand? When all Thy children want Thou giv’st, Who, who shall stay Thy hand? Amen.

The Prince of Life, incarnate Word, Life and salvation can afford. 3 Divine Redeemer, glorious King! Repentant hearts to Thee we bring. Thy holy blood for us was spilt, Cleanse us from all the stains of guilt. 4 Drawn by Thy Spirit, through Thy Word, Thine invitation have we heard. In answer to Thy sweet request, We come to Thee, O Christ, for rest. 5 Thy pardon, full, complete, and free, Removes sin’s awful penalty. Our Father’s love is now restored; Thou hast redeemed us, dearest Lord. 6 Let us Thy Name forever bless, On earth Thy gospel truth confess, Till saved by grace, through faith in Thee, The gates of paradise we see.

Thy Word indeed doth balm afford, And Thy forgiveness, dearest Lord, The power of sin hath broken. Thy Word, dear Lord, still endureth, And assureth Me, O Saviour, Of Thy everlasting favor. 3 Indeed Thou doest all things well, Incarnate God, Immanuel, Thou promised Saviour, Jesus. My ears can hear Thy Word divine. Which healeth all diseases. Till I sing Thy praise in glory, Let the story Of salvation Be my theme of adoration. Amen.

Though Troubles Assail Us, and Dangers Affright
