Whate’er my God ordains is right, Whate’er my God ordains

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 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 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
