Leave God to order all thy ways

Verse 1

Leave God to order all thy ways, And hope in him whate’er betide; Thou’lt find him in the evil days Thy all-sufficient strength and guide; Who trusts in God’s unchanging love Builds on the rock that naught can move.

Verse 2

Only thy restless heart keep still, And wait in cheerful hope, content To take whate’er his gracious will, His all-discerning love, hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To him who chose us for his own.

Verse 3

Sing, pray, and swerve not from his ways, But do thine own part faithfully; Trust his rich promises of grace, So shall they be fulfilled in thee; God never yet forsook at need The soul that trusted him indeed.
