What our Father does is well

Verse 1

What our Father does is well: Blessed truth His children tell! Tho' He send, for plenty, want, Tho' the harvest store be scant, Yet we rest upon His love, Seeking better things above.

Verse 2

What our Father does is well. Shall the wilful heart rebel If a blessing He withhold In the field or in the fold? Is He not Himself to be All our store eternally?

Verse 3

What our Father does is well. Tho' He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His Word supplies. He has called us sons of God; Can we murmur at His rod?

Verse 4

What our Father does is well; May the tho't within us dwell! Tho' nor milk nor honey flow In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed.

Verse 5

Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise. To the Father and the Son And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor, might, and glory be Now and through eternity. Amen.
