Whate’er My God Ordains Is Right

Lyrics

VERSE 1

Whate’er my God ordains is right
His holy 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
And so to Him, I leave it all
And so to Him, I leave it all

VERSE 2

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 has sent
His hand can turn my griefs away
And patiently I wait His day
And patiently I wait His day

VERSE 3

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
And pain and sorrow shall depart

VERSE 4

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
And so to Him, I leave it all
