SGF's Hymn Sing Prelude

As we deal with the repercussions of the hurricane I am reminded of what we sang in our service as a church body. Here are some of the lyrics to Samuel Rodigast's 1676 hymn "What'er My God Ordains Is Right". I've been humming this for a week.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
His holy will abideth;
I will be still whate’er He doth;
And follow where He guideth;
He is my God; though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall:
Wherefore to Him I leave it all.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
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,
Some day I shall see clearly
That He hath loved me dearly.
