Whate'er my God ordains is right
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Rodigast Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right;
His holy 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;
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.
Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Trust; Confidence; God Guidance, His; God Presence, His Abiding; God Presence, His Abiding; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: WAS GOTT THUT DAS IST WOHLGETHAN

What God Ordains Is Always Good
Author: Samuel Rodegast Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good:
No wrong His will intendeth.
In wisdom He directs my course
And all my trouble endeth.
Why should I fear when He is near?
Tho' need and want o'ertake me,
He never will forsake me.
2 What God ordains is always good:
He will not, then, deceive me.
I fully trust His guiding hand,
No painful doubts can grieve me.
His loving care each day I share,
Tho' sorrows sore depress me,
He will in mercy bless me.
3 What God ordains is always good:
This thought sweet comfort lendeth.
My great Physician, good and true,
Naught that is harmful sendeth.
My wounded soul He maketh whole
And saveth by His power
Though ills like mountains tower.
4 What God ordains is always good:
And though the cup selected
Too bitter to my taste may seem,
It must not be rejected.
For in the end God help will send;
He will dispel all sadness
And fill my soul with gladness.
5 What God ordains is always good:
Here shall my stand be taken;
Tho' dark and lone my way appear,
I shall not be forsaken.
In God's embrace I have a place;
His loving arm will shield me,
And so to Him I yield me. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: HOPE Text Sources: Tr. Composite
What God Ordains Is Always Good
O risen Lord! O conquering King!
Author: J. H. Böhmer Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O risen Lord! O conquering King!
O Life of all the living!
To-day that peace of Easter bring
Which comes but of Thy giving!
Once Death, our foe,
Had laid Thee low,
Now hast Thou rent his bonds in twain,
Now art Thou risen who once wast slain!
2 O that to know Thy victory
To us were inly granted,
And these cold hearts might catch from Thee
The glow of faith undaunted;
Thy quenchless light,
Thy glorious might
Still comfortless and lonely leave
The soul that cannot yet believe.
3 Then break through our hard hearts Thy way,
O Jesus, Lord of glory!
Kindle the lamp of faith today,
Teach us to sing before Thee
For joy at length,
That in Thy strength
We, too, may rise whom sin had slain,
And Thine eternal rest attain.
4 And when our tears for sin o'erflow,
Do Thou in love draw near us,
Thy precious gift of peace bestow,
Let Thy bright presence cheer us,
That so may we,
O Christ, from Thee
Drink in the life that cannot die,
And keep true Easter feasts on high. Topics: The Church Year First Sunday after Easter; The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: [O risen Lord! O conquering King!]
