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 ev'ry need
knows well how he will shield me;
to him, then, I will yield me.
2 What God ordains is always good:
he is my friend and Father.
He will not let me suffer 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.
3 What God ordains is always good:
though I the cup am drinking
which savors now of bitterness,
I take it without shrinking.
For after grief God grants relief,
my heart with comfort filling
and all my sorrow stilling.
4 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 will embrace and shield me;
so to my God I yield me.
