Leave God to order all thy ways,

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 nought can move.

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.

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 in need

The soul that trusted Him indeed.
