God’s way is best; if human wisdom A fairer way may seem to show, ’Tis only that our earth-dimmed vision The truth can never clearly know.
Chorus
God’s way is best, I will not murmur, Although the end I may not see; Where’er He leads I’ll meekly follow, God’s way is best, is best for me.

Had I the choosing of my pathway, In blindness I should go astray, And wander far away in darkness, Nor reach that land of endless day.

God’s way is best, I will not murmur, Although the end I may not see; Where’er He leads I’ll meekly follow, God’s way is best, is best for me.
Verse 3
He leadeth true; I will not question, Though through the valley I shall go; Though I should pass through clouds of trial, And drink the cup of human woe.
Chorus
God’s way is best, I will not murmur, Although the end I may not see; Where’er He leads I’ll meekly follow, God’s way is best, is best for me.

God’s way is best; heart, cease thy struggling To see and know and understand; Forsake thy fears and doubts, but trusting, Submit thyself into His hand.

Thy way is best, so lead me onward, My all I give to Thy control; Thy loving hand will truly guide me, And safe to glory bring my soul.

God’s way is best, I will not murmur, Although the end I may not see; Where’er He leads I’ll meekly follow, God’s way is best, is best for me.
