Whate’er my God ordains is right, 
His holy will abideth
I will be still whate’er He does 
And follow where He guideth

He is my God, though dark my road
He holds me that I shall not fall
And so to Him I leave it all
And so 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

I take, content, what He has sent 
His hand can turn my griefs away 
And patiently I wait His day
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

My God is true, each morn anew 
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart
And pain and sorrow shall depart
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 I am 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
And so to Him I leave it all
