Samuel Rodigast (1649-1708). Tr. Catherine Winkworth (1829-1878).
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.
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 drinkingMay 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.
Whate'er my God ordains is right: Here shall my stand be taken:Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet am I 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.
