Whate'er Our God Ordains Is Right
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Rodigast Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral Lyrics: 1 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
His holy will abiding;
We will be still, whate'er he does,
And follow where he's guiding.
He is our God;
Though dark our road,
He holds us that we shall not fall;
Wherefore to him we leave it all.
2 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
He never will deceive us.
He leads us by the proper path;
We know he will not leave us,
And take, content,
What he has sent;
His hand can turn our griefs away,
And patiently we wait his day.
3 Whate'er our God ordains is right;
Here shall our stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be ours,
Yet we are not forsaken;
Our Father's care
Is round us there;
He holds us that we shall not fall,
And so to him we leave it all.

For thou art with me; and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Till earthly passions turn
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let your glorious light
Shine ever on my sight,
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

With which the soul will long
Shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
For none can guess its grace,
Till he become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Meter: Irregular Appears in 674 hymnals Topics: Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral; Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral; Acts of the Church Installation Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he,
The Lord of Hosts his name,
From age to age the same,
And he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us;
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, is standing;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours—
We answer his commanding.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth is ruling still—
His kingdom is forever!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Topics: Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own Interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
Amen. Scripture: Daniel 2:22 Used With Tune: DUNDEE (FRENCH)
