“Disappointment–His appointment,”Change one letter, then I seeThat the thwarting of my purposeIs God’s better choice for me.His appointment must be blessing,Though it may come in disguise,For the end from the beginningOpen to His wisdom lies.
“Disappointment — His appointment,”Whose? The Lord’s, Who loves me bestUnderstands and knows me fully,Who my faith and love would test:For, like loving earthly parent,He rejoices when He knowsThat His child accepts, unquestioned,All that from His wisdom flows.
“Disappointment — His appointment,”“No good thing will He withhold,”From denials oft we gatherTreasures of His love untold.Well He knows each broken purposeLeads to fuller, deeper trust,And the end of all His dealingsProves our God is wise and just.
