602. God is kind; He made the flowers

1 God is kind; He made the flowers:
God is Love;
Sends the sunshine, sends the showers
From above.
God loves all things, He loves me:
Little ones His face shall see.

Refrain:
God loves all things, He loves me:
Little ones His face shall see.

2 God is good; He watches me
Night and day,
Keeps me safe, and guards my steps
All the way.
God loves all things, He loves me:
Little ones His face shall see. [Refrain]

3 God is great; His eye can see
Everywhere;
Dark can never hide from Him;
He is there.
God loves all things, He loves me:
Little ones His face shall see. [Refrain]

4 God is Love; He gave His Son
Once to die,
So that we might live in heaven
By and by.
God loves all things, He loves me:
Little ones His face shall see. [Refrain]
