Hymn Text
Verse 1
Yes, God is good, in earth and sky,
From ocean depths and spreading word,
Ten thousand voices seem to cry:
"God made us all, and God is good.
Verse 2
The sun that keeps his trackless way
And downward pours his golden flood,
Night's sparkling hosts, all seem to say,
In accents clear, that God is good.
Verse 3
The merry birds prolong the strain,
Their song with ev’ry spring renewed
And balmy air, and falling rain,
Each softly whispers, "God is good."
Verse 4
I hear it in the rushing breeze,
The hills that have for ages stood,
Th’echoing sky and roaring seas,
All swell the chorus, God is good.
Verse 5
Yes, God is good, all nature says,
By God's own hand with speech endued:
And man, in louder notes of praise,
Should sing for joy that God is good.
Verse 6
For all Thy gifts we bless Thee, Lord,
But chiefly for our heav'nly food,
Thy pard'ning grace, Thy quick’ning word,
these prompt our song that God is g00d.
