Verse 1

 WhatC e'er  my F God  ordG ains  is C right
 His Am holy F will  aC bidG eth;
 I C will  be F still  whatG e'er  he Am doth,
 And F follow C where  he G guidC eth.
 He  is  my Am God,  though F dark  my  rC oad;
 He  holds  me Am that  I F shall  not G fall;
 And  so  to F him  I G leave  it Am all,
 And  so  to F him  I G leave  it C all.

Verse 2

 WhatC e'er  my F God  ordG ains  is C right,
 He Am never F will  deC ceive G me;
 He C leads  me F by  the G proper Am path,
 I F know  he C will  not G leave C me.
 I  take,  conAm tent,  what F he  hath C sent;
 His  hand  can Am turn  my  gF riefs G away;
 And  patientF ly  I G wait  his Am day,
 And  patientF ly  I G wait  his C day.

Verse 3

 WhatC e'er  my F God  ordG ains  is C right,
 Though Am now  this  cF up,  in C drinG king
 May C bitter F seem  to G my  faint Am heart,
 I  tF ake  it C all,  unG shrinC king.
 My  God  is Am true,  each F morn  aC new
 Sweet  comfort Am yet  shall F fill  my  hG eart;
 And  pain  and F sorrow G shall  deAm part,
 And  pain  and  sF orrow  sG hall  deC part.

Verse 4

 WhatC e'er  my F God  ordG ains  is C right
 Here  sAm hall  my F stand  be C takeG n;
 Though C sorrow, F need,  or G death  be Am mine,
 Yet F I  am C not  fG orsakC en.
 My  Father's Am care  is F round  me  tC here;
 He  holds  me Am that  I F shall  not G fall;
 And  so  to F him  I G leave  it Am all,
 And  so  to F him  I G leave  it C all.
