The Will of God Is Always Best

The will of God is al­ways best

And shall be done for­ev­er;

And they who trust in Him are blest

He will for­sake them nev­er.

He helps in­deed in time of need

He chast­ens with for­bear­ing;

They who de­pend on God

their friend

Shall not be left des­pair­ing.

God is my com­fort and my trust

My hope and life ab­id­ing;

And to His coun­sel

wise and just

I yield

in Him con­fid­ing.

The ve­ry hairs

His Word de­clares

Upon my head He num­bers.

By night and day God is my stay

He nev­er sleeps nor slum­bers.

Lord Je­sus

this I ask of Thee

Deny me not this fa­vor;

When Sa­tan sore­ly trou­bles me

Then do not let me wa­ver.

Keep watch and ward

O gra­cious Lord

Fulfill Thy faith­ful say­ing:

Who doth be­lieve He shall re­ceive

An an­swer to his pray­ing.

When life’s brief course on earth is run

And I this world am leav­ing

Grant me to say

Thy will be done

By faith to Thee still cleav­ing.

My heav’n­ly friend

I now com­mend

My soul in­to Thy keep­ing

O’er sin and hell

and death as well

Thro’ Thee the vic­t’ry reap­ing.
