Lyrics

God’s way is the best way,
Tho’ I may not see
Why sor­rows and tri­als
Oft ga­ther ’round me;
He ev­er is seek­ing
My gold to re­fine,
So hum­bly I trust Him,
My Sav­ior di­vine.

Refrain

God’s way is the best way,
God’s way is the right way,
I’ll trust in Him al­way,
He know­eth the best.

God’s way is the best way,
My path He hath planned,
I’ll trust in Him al­way
While hold­ing His hand.
In sha­dow or sun­shine
He ev­er is near,
With Him for my re­fuge,
I nev­er need fear.

Refrain

God’s way shall be my way,
He know­eth the best.
And lean­ing up­on Him,
Sweet, sweet is my rest.
No harm can be­fall me,
Safe, safe shall I be,
I’ll cling to Him ev­er,
So pre­cious is He.

Refrain
