Text: | The Lord Never Makes a Mistake |
Author: | Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. |
Tune: | [When clouds, dark as midnight, hang over my head] |
Composer: | Adam Geibel |
1 When clouds, dark as midnight, hang over my head,
When waves of affliction around me are spread,
I know 'tis for my good, so I have no dread,
The Lord never makes a mistake.
Chorus:
The Lord never makes a mistake,
The Lord never makes a mistake;
Let him do what he will,
I will trust in him still,
The Lord never makes a mistake.
2 If I, like the wand'rer, should walk all alone,
My couch on the hillside, my pillow a stone,
I'll know when the ladder to heaven is shown,
The Lord never makes a mistake. [Chorus]
3 If wealth or if honors should take wings and fly,
If friends who once flattered should then pass me by,
Still I will trust Jesus, and sing till I die,
The Lord never makes a mistake. [Chorus]
