370 Whate'er my God ordains is right:

1 Whate'er my God ordains is right: Holy His 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. 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, And take, content, What He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. 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. Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 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.
