WHATE'ER mv God ordains is right :
Holy his will abideth;
I will he 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.
And 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 :
Tears pass away
With dawn of day :
Sweet comfort yet shall till my heart,
And pain and sorrow .shall depart.
