What God Ordains Is Always Good

VERSE 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 I humbly yield me.

VERSE 2:
What God ordains is always good:
He never will deceive me;
He leads me in His righteous 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.

VERSE 3:
What God ordains is always good:
He is my Friend and Father;
His hand protects from every harm
Tho' many storms may gather.
Now I may know
Both joy and woe;
Some day I shall see clearly
That He has loved me dearly.

VERSE 4:
What God ordains is always good;
This truth remains unshaken.
Tho' 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.
