  • "What God Ordains" – S. Gastorius, arr. D. Forrest
    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 ev'ry need Knows well how He will shield me;
    To Him, then, I will yield me.
    What God ordains is always good; He is my friend and Father;
    He suffers naught to do me harm though many storms may gather.
    Now I may know both joy and woe; Someday I shall see clearly
    That He has loved me dearly.
    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. - S. Rodigast
