47. God Is Good

1 God is good—the heav’ns declare it—
Far off stars and beaming sun,
Witnessing to hearts that listen
In a language all their own.

2 God is good—the earth proclaims it
In a chorus loud and strong,
Birds and flowers, fields and woodlands
Joining in the tribute song.

3 God is good, we softly whisper
When the deep’ning shades enfold,
Even ‘mid life’s pain and sorrow
We His goodness may behold.

4 God is good! then let us trust Him
Like the little children do,
He hath given to His angels
Charge concerning me and you.
