Whate'er Our God Ordains Is Right
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Rodigast Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
His holy will abiding;
We will be still, whate'er he does,
And follow where he's guiding.
He is our God;
Though dark our road,
He holds us that we shall not fall;
Wherefore to him we leave it all.
2 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
He never will deceive us.
He leads us by the proper path;
We know he will not leave us,
And take, content,
What he has sent;
His hand can turn our griefs away,
And patiently we wait his day.
3 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
Here shall our stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be ours,
Yet we are not forsaken;
Our Father's care
Is round us there;
He holds us that we shall not fall,
And so to him we leave it all.
Amen.

Whate'er Our God Ordains Is Right
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!]
O risen Lord! O conquering King!
