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.

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 drinking
May 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.
Here shall my stand be taken:
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet am I not forsaken;

Is round me there:
