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. 2. 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.

3. 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, Fulfil Thy faithful saying: Who doth believe He shall receive An answer to His praying. 4. 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 heavenly Friend, I now commend My soul into Thy keeping, O'er sin and hell, And death as well, Through Thee the victory reaping.
