Whate’er My God Ordains Is Right

  1. Whate’er my God ordains is right:
    his holy will abideth;
    I will be still, whate’er he doth,
    and follow where he guideth.
    He is my God;
    though dark my road,
    he holds me that I shall not fall:
    wherefore to him I leave it all.
  2. Whate’er my God ordains is right:
    he never will deceive me;
    he leads me by the proper path;
    I know he will not leave me.
    I take, content,
    what he hath sent;
    his hand can turn my griefs away,
    and patiently I wait his day.
  3. Whate’er my God ordains is right:
    though now this cup, in drinking,
    may bitter seem to my faint heart,
    I take it, all unshrinking.
    My God is true;
    each morn anew
    sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
    and pain and sorrow shall depart.
  4. Whate’er my God ordains is right:
    here shall my stand be taken;
    though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
    yet am I not forsaken.
    My Father’s care
    is round me there;
    he holds me that I shall not fall:
    and so to him I leave it all.
