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.
