55. Through Waves, Through Clouds and Storms

S.M.
by P. Gerhardt, tr. by J. Wesley
1
Through waves, through clouds and storms,
 
God gently clears the way;
 
We wait His time; so shall the night
 
Soon end in blissful day.
2
He everywhere hath sway,
 
And all things serve His might;
 
His every act pure blessing is,
 
His path unsullied light.
3
When He makes bare His arm,
 
Who shall His work withstand?
 
When He His people’s cause defends,
 
Who then shall stay His hand?
4
We leave it to Himself
 
To choose and to command,
 
With wonder filled, we soon shall see
 
How wise, how strong His hand!
5
We comprehend Him not,
 
Yet earth and heaven tell
 
God sits as sovereign on the throne
 
And ruleth all things well.
