Sunday Hymn:
Sunday, August 31, 2008 at 06:00AM Whate'er My God Ordains is Right
Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Holy his will abideth;
I will be still whate'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.
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 hath sent;
His hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently I wait his day.
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.
Whate'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.

Amen to and so to Him I leave it all...
I did enjoy singing this one! I really love the comforting words. That title says it all. Amen!
Hi Kim,
I would be honored to have you use my picture for your watercolors. I keep telling myself that I am going to take lessons and do watercolors too. I love the way pictures look in this medium.
Have a great day and I do enjoy your blog and your Sunday message.
Thanks
Sue
