Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1708 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 74 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. Used With Tune: WAS GOTT TUT

What God ordains is always good

Author: Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1703 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good: his will is just and holy. As he directs my life for me I follow meek and lowly. My God indeed in every need knows well how he will shield me; to him, then, I will yield me. 2 What God ordains is always good: he never will deceive me; he leads me in his own right way, and never will he leave me. I take content what he has sent; his hand that sends me sadness will turn my tears to gladness. 3 What God ordains is always good: his loving thought attends me; no poison can be in the cup that my physician sends me. My God is true; each morning new I trust his grace unending, my life to him commending. 4 What God ordains is always good: he is my friend and father; he will not let me come to harm though many storms may gather. Now I may know both joy and woe; some day I shall see clearly that he has loved me dearly. 5 What God ordains is always good: this truth remains unshaken. Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, I shall not be forsaken. I fear no harm, for with his arm he shall embrace and shield me; so to my God I yield me.

O Son of God, We Wait for Thee

Author: Philipp F. Hiller, 1699-1769; Joseph A. Seiss Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Son of God, we wait for Thee, In love for Thine appearing; We know Thou sittest on the throne, And we Thy name are bearing, Who trusts in Thee, may joyful be, And see Thee, Lord, descending, To bring us bliss unending. 2. We wait for Thee ’mid toil and pain, In weariness and sighing; But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne, And canceled it by dying; Hence cheerfully may we with Thee Take up our cross and bear it, Till we relief inherit. 3. We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won Our hearts to hope and duty; But while our spirits feel Thee near, Our eyes would see Thy beauty; We fain would be at rest with Thee In peace and joy supernal, In glorious life eternal. 4. We wait for Thee; sure Thou wilt come; The time is swiftly nearing; In this we also now rejoice, And long for Thine appearing. Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see, Homeward Thy people bringing, With transport and with singing! Used With Tune: GASTORIUS

Was Gott Tut, Das Ist Wohlgetan

Author: Samuel Rodigast Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, So denken Gottes Kinder. Er sieht sie oft gar strenge an Und lieb sie doch nicht minder; Er zieht ihr Herz nur himmelwärts, Wenn er sie lässt auf Erden Ein Ziel der Plagen werden. 2 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan. Gibt er, so kann man nehmen; Nimmt er, wir sind nicht übler dran, Wenn wir uns nur bequemen. Die Linke schmerzt, die Rechte herzt, Und beide Hände müssen Wir doch in Demut küssen. 3 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Er weist uns oft den Segen, Und eh er noch gedeihen kann, Muss sich die Hoffnung legen. Weil er allein der Schatz will sein, So macht er andre Güter Durch den Verlust uns bitter. Used With Tune: GASTORIUS
