116. God Is Good to You and Me

1 When the way is dark before us,
And the cross seems hard to bear,
God is good to you and me;
Thro’ the darkness He will guide us
With His tender, loving care,
God is good to you and me.

Refrain:
God is good to you and me,
God is good to you and me;
Ev’rywhere, in His care,
God is good to you and me.

2 In the hour of deepest sorrow
He will stand close by our side,
God is good to you and me;
In the secret of His presence
We may then securely hide,
God is good to you and me. [Refrain]

3 Over all the rough and stormy way
He leads us by His hand,
God is good to you and me;
By and by we’ll meet our loved ones
Over on the golden strand,
God is good to you and me. [Refrain]
