Lyrics

God is good! I will not fear
The tri­als that await me here;
His pro­mis­es are true and sure;
His Word for­ev­er must en­dure.

Refrain

O bless­èd hope, O joy in­deed,
His mer­cy co­vers all my need!
God is good! His love to me
Is broad and bound­less as the sea.

God is good! His hand sup­plies;
I can­not need what He de­nies.
I’ll trust His love from day to day,
And fol­low where He leads the way.

Refrain

God is good! He will not fail,
Tho’ Sa­tan’s fie­ry darts as­sail;
I trust His grace from hour to hour,
And do not fear the tempt­er’s pow­er.
