In My Father's Hand

verses: A.V. Overton (altered)
chorus: Ralph P. Merrifield

[Verse 1]
My Father's way may twist and turn, my heart may throb and ache,
but in my soul I'm glad I know, He does not make mistakes.
My cherished plans may go astray, my hopes may fade away,
but still I'll trust my Lord to lead, 'tis He Who knows the way.

[Chorus]
I will praise Him for the dry times,
I will praise Him through the rains.
From the darkest night to the brightest morning
blessed be His name.
I will cling to Him in trials,
I will hide beneath His wings.
For by faith I know He'll never leave me,
safely I'll remain in my Father's hands.

[Verse 2]
Tho' night be dark and it may seem that day will never break,
I'll pin my faith, my all in Him.  He does not make mistakes.
There's so much now I cannot see, my eyesight's far too dim,
but come what may, I'll simply trust and leave it all to Him.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
My Father's way may twist and turn, my heart may throb and ache,
but in my soul I'm glad I know, He does not make mistakes.
For by and by the mist will lift and plain it all He'll make.
Through all the way, tho' dark to me, He made not one mistake.

[Chorus]
