How-e'er He orders now

He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I

to Him I leave it all. A MEN.

2 Whate'er my God ordains is right;

He never will deceive;

He leads me by the proper path,

And so to Him I cleave,

And take content

What He hath sent;

His hand can turn my griefs away,

And patiently I wait His day.

2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Though seen through many a tear,

Let not my star of hope

Grow dim or disappear;

Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done.

3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee;
Straight to my home above.
I travel calmly on,

And sing in life or death,

My Lord, Thy will be done. Benjamin Schmolck, 1716 Tr. by Jane Borthwick, 1854

Wind - ing or straight, it leads Right on ward to Thy rest. A-MEN.

2 I dare not choose my lot;

I would not, if I might;
Choose Thou for me, my God:
So shall I walk aright.
Take Thou my cup, and it

With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to Thee may seem;
Choose Thou my good and ill.

3 Choose Thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose Thou my cares for me,
My poverty or wealth.

Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or great or small;
Be Thou my guide, my strength,

My wisdom, and my all.

Horatius Bonar, 1857
