Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1708 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 75 hymnals 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, And 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; 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. Used With Tune: WAS GOTT TUT

O Son of God, We Wait for Thee

Author: Philipp F. Hiller, 1699-1769; Joseph A. Seiss Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Son of God, we wait for Thee, In love for Thine appearing; We know Thou sittest on the throne, And we Thy name are bearing, Who trusts in Thee, may joyful be, And see Thee, Lord, descending, To bring us bliss unending. 2. We wait for Thee ’mid toil and pain, In weariness and sighing; But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne, And canceled it by dying; Hence cheerfully may we with Thee Take up our cross and bear it, Till we relief inherit. 3. We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won Our hearts to hope and duty; But while our spirits feel Thee near, Our eyes would see Thy beauty; We fain would be at rest with Thee In peace and joy supernal, In glorious life eternal. 4. We wait for Thee; sure Thou wilt come; The time is swiftly nearing; In this we also now rejoice, And long for Thine appearing. Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see, Homeward Thy people bringing, With transport and with singing! Used With Tune: GASTORIUS

Wir warten dein, o Gottes Sohn

Author: Philipp Friedrich Hiller Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wir warten dein, o Gottes Sohn, und lieben dein Erscheinen. Wir wissen dich auf deinem Thron und nennen uns die Deinen. Wer an dich glaubt, erhebt sein Haupt und siehet dir entgegen; du kommst uns ja zum Segen. 2 Wir warten deiner mit Geduld in unsern Leidenstagen; wir trösten uns, daß du die Schuld am Kreuz hast abgetragen; so können wir nun gern mit dir uns auch zum Kreuz bequemen, bis du es weg wirst nehmen. 3 Wir warten dein; du hast uns ja das Herz schon hingenommen. Du bist uns zwar im Geiste nah, doch sollst du sichtbar kommen; da willst uns du bei dir auch Ruh, bei dir auch Freude geben, bei dir ein herrlich Leben. 4 Wir warten dein, du kommst gewiß, die Zeit ist bald vergangen; wir freuen uns schon überdies mit kindlichem Verlangen. Was wird geschehn, wenn wir dich sehn, wann du uns heim wirst bringen, wann wir dir ewig singen! Topics: Das Kirchenjahr Ende des Kirchenjahres Used With Tune: [Wir warten dein, o Gottes Sohn]

What God ordains is always good

Author: Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1703 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 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, then, I will yield me. 2 What God ordains is always good: he never will deceive me; he leads me in his own right 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. 3 What God ordains is always good: his loving thought attends me; no poison can be in the cup that my physician sends me. My God is true; each morning new I trust his grace unending, my life to him commending. 4 What God ordains is always good: he is my friend and father; he will not let me come to harm though many storms may gather. Now I may know both joy and woe; some day I shall see clearly that he has loved me dearly. 5 What God ordains is always good: this truth remains unshaken. Though 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.
