Hymn of Gratitude and Praise

The words to this hymn ministered greatly to my heart yesterday. . .

What-e'er my God ordains is right: his holy will abideth;
I will be still what-e'er he doth, and follow where he guideth.
He is my God; though dark my road, he holds me that I shall not fall:
Wherefore to him I leave it all.

What-e'er my God ordains is right: he never will deceive me;
he leads me by the proper path; I know he will not leave me.
I take, content, what he hath sent; his hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently I wait his day.

What-e'er my God ordains is right: though now this cup, in drinking,
May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking.
My God is true, each morn anew sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.

What-e'er my God ordains is right: here shall my stand be taken;
though sorrow, need or death be mine, yet am I not forsaken.
My Father's care is round me there, he holds me that I shall not fall:
And so to him I leave it all.
