Whate’er My God Ordains Is Right
- 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. - 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. - 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. - 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.
