The King of Glory ‎#27

27. How Good He Is!

1 He sought me on the mountain when my feet had gone astray,
How good God is!
He led me out of darkness to the realms of perfect day
How good He is!

Refrain:
How good God is!
How good God is!
He is leading me to heaven where He has for me a home,
How good He is!

2 He leads me in green pastures, and beside the waters still;
How good God is!
My cup to overflowing with His blessing He doth fill,
How good He is! [Refrain]

3 I lean on Him in danger, and He ev’ry foe disarms;
How good God is!
Each day I find beneath me are the everlasting arms,
How good He is! [Refrain]

4 To save my soul from dying once He gave His Son to die;
How good God is!
He says that I shall see Him in His glory by and by,
How good He is! [Refrain]

5 This, all along life’s pathway is the burden of my song:
How good God is!
I know I’ll shout this chorus when I join the blood-washed throng,
How good He is! [Refrain]
