lyrics

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:
He is my Friend and Father; 
He suffers naught to do me harm,
Though many storms may gather, 
Now I may know both joy and woe,
Some day I shall see clearly 
That He hath loved me dearly.

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.
My Father’s care is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall: 
And so to Him I leave it all.
