Whate'er My God Ordains is right

Author: Samuel Rodigast; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #231 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 18:25 Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right: his holy 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. 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 hath sent; his hand can turn my griefs away, and patiently I wait his day. 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. 4 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.

A hymn for a fast day

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 18:23-33 First Line: When Abraham, full of sacred awe Lyrics: 1 When Abram, full of sacred awe, Before Jehovah stood, And, with an humble fervent prayer, For guilty Sodom sued; 2 With what success, what wondrous grace, Was his petitions crown'd! The Lord would spare, if in the place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single, holy soul So rich a boon obtain? Good God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain? 4 Britain, all guilty as she is, Her numerous saints can boast, And now their fervent prayers ascend, And can those prayers be lost? 5 Are not the righteous dear to thee, Now as in ancient times? Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in its crimes? 6 Still are we thine, we bear thy name, Here yet is thine abode; Long has thy presence bless'd our land, Forsake us not, O God.

Sovereignty

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #155 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 18:25 First Line: Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb Lyrics: 1 Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb To search the starry vault profound; In vain would wing her flight sublime, To find creation's outmost bound. 2 But weaker yet that thought must prove To search thy great eternal plan,-- Thy sovereign counsels, born of love Long ages ere the world began. 3 When my dim reason would demand Why that, or this, thou dost ordain, By some vast deep I seem to stand, Whose secrets I must ask in vain. 4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast, And all is dark as night to me, Here, as on solid rock, I rest; That so it seemeth good to thee. 5 Be this my joy, that evermore Thou rulest all things at thy will: Thy sovereign wisdom I adore, And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still.

Resting in God

Author: fr. K. R. Hagenbach Hymnal: Laudes Domini #462 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 18:25 First Line: Since thy Father's arm sustains thee Lyrics: 1 Since thy Father's arm sustains thee, Peaceful be; When a chastening hand restrains thee, It is he! Know his love in full completeness Fills the measure of thy weakness; If he wound thy spirit sore, Trust him more. 2 Without murmur, uncomplaining, In his hand Lay whatever things thou canst not Understand: Though the world thy folly spurneth, From thy faith in pity turneth, Peace thy inmost soul shall fill-- Lying still. 3 Fearest sometimes that thy Father Hath forgot? When the clouds around thee gather, Doubt him not! Always hath the daylight broken-- Always hath he comfort spoken-- Better hath he been for years, Than thy fears. 4 To his own thy Saviour giveth Daily strength; To each troubled soul that liveth Peace at length: Weakest lambs have largest sharing Of this tender Shepherd's caring; Ask him not, then--when or how-- Only bow.

He Comes to Us As One Unknown
