Text:LORD, You Are Good
Author:Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847

73a. LORD, You Are Good

1 LORD, You are good: I know it well.
To You alone the praise is due.
If I have stood while others fell,
It is Your grace has born me through.

2 Your presence still my strength supplied,
Your hand did every want relieve.
Your counsel to the end will guide,
Your glory then my soul receive.

3 Whom, LORD, in heaven, but You alone,
Have I whose favor I require?
Throughout the wide world there is none,
That I before You could desire.

4 My trembling flesh, and aching heart,
May often fail to support me;
But You will inward strength impart,
And my eternal portion be.
