Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right

Whate'er my God ordains is right,
Holy His will abideth.
I will be still whate'er He does,
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 hands 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 tue,
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 I am 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.
