About this Hymn
Charles Spurgeon once preached, "The moment we are reconciled to God, we consent that Jehovah should do as he wills. What better rule could be than the absolute empire of love? . . . Let love reign without limit; let love be sovereign; let love bear the keys of government upon her shoulder, and let her name be called the mighty God. . . . When the heart is reconciled to God, we can say, 'Amen, so let it be, what God ordains must be right.'"
Lyrics
Verse 1
Whate'er my God ordains is right, his holy will abideth; I will be still whate'er he does, and follow where he guideth. He is my God, though dark my road; he holds me that I shall not fall; and so to him I leave it all, and so to him I leave it all.
Verse 2
Whate'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 has sent; his hand can turn my griefs away; and patiently I wait his day; and patiently I wait his day.
Verse 3
Whate'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, and pain and sorrow shall depart.
Verse 4
Whate'er my God ordains is right, here shall my stand be taken; though sorrow, need, or death be mine, yet I am 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, and so to him I leave it all.
