93. Great Is the Goodness of God

1 Kind is the hand of the Father of love,
Constantly sending His light from above,
Striving His tender compassion to prove;
Great is the goodness of God.

Chorus:
Sending the sunshine and sending the rain,
Giving the harvest of rich, golden grain;
Proving His mercies again and again,
Great is the goodness of God.

2 Many the blessings that daily He sends,
Many the talents He graciously lends,
From sin and evil my soul He defends,
Great is the goodness of God. [Chorus]

3 Giving salvation to all who believe,
Granting a pardon that all may receive,
Who can His love and His kindness conceive!
Great is the goodness of God. [Chorus]

4 For us in heaven preparing a place,
Where thro’ His wonderful, marvelous grace,
We shall behold Him, shall look on His face;
Great is the goodness of God. [Chorus]
