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.
