104. God's Way is Best

1 God has a plan for ev’ry life,
Our guide and pattern He;
If in His will we but confide,
In faith and love in Him abide,
Our lives shall blissful be.

Chorus:
God’s way is best, ‘tis always best,
He plans my life for me;
Now in His will I sweetly rest
Who plans my life for me.

2 I do not ask to choose my way,
For ignorant am I;
And oft what seemeth best to me,
Some direful evil proves to be,—
I must on Him rely. [Chorus]

3 In God’s sweet will is perfect rest
For all who in Him trust,
Release from worry, strife or fret,
From ill forebodings, vain regret,—
Saved to the uttermost. [Chorus]

4 As clay so may I pliant be
In Christ the Master’s hands;
So may He mold and fashion me,
Until His likeness He shall see,
Complete in Him to stand. [Chorus]
