Author: Benjamin Schmolke; Sir Henry Williams Baker Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well;
Blessed truth—His children tell!
Though He send for plenty want,
Though the harvest store be scant,
Yet we rest upon His love,
Seeking better things above.
2 What our Father does, is well;
Shall the willful heart rebel?
If a blessing He withhold
In the field or in the fold,
Is He not Himself to be
All our store eternally?
3 What our Father does is well;
May the thought within us dwell;
Though nor milk nor honey flow
In our barren Canaan now,
God can save us in our need,
God can bless us, God can feed.
4 What our Father does, is well;
Though He sadden hill and dell,
Upward yet our praises rise
For the strength His Word supplies.
He has called us sons of God;
Can we murmur at His rod?
5 Therefore unto Him we raise
Hymns of glory, songs of praise:
To the Father, and the Son,
And the Spirit, Three in One,
Honor might and glory be
Now and through eternity. Topics: Harvest Failure of Harvest; The Church Year Harvest Used With Tune: TOPLADY (Rock of Ages)
