"Entrust Your Days and Burdens"

Way back in September, I wrote a post about "Entrust Your Days and Burdens," after which I lookt at the same hymn in Lutheran Worship and noticed something different.  In The Lutheran Service Book, "Entrust Your Days and Burdens" is sung to the tune "Sufficientia," but in Lutheran Worship, it's sung to the tune "Herzlich tut mich verlangen."

There are two musical phrases that reflect the text in the third verse, specifically the lines "From any low depression, / Where agonies are made, / God's grace will lift you upward."

"From any low depression" is sung to a phrase that generally descends:

And "God's grace will lift you upward" is sung to a phrase that ascends at the end:

Musically, these phrases reflect the "low depression" and then the "lift[ing]... upward."
