Thou Lord art good, not only good

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord, art good, not only good, But prompt to pardon too; Of plenteous mercy to all those, Who for thy mercy sue. 2 To my repeated humble pray'r, O Lord, attentive be! When troubled, I on thee will call, For thou wilt answer me. 3 Among the Gods there's none like thee, O Lord, alone divine! To thee as much inferiour they, As are their works to thine. 4 Therefore their great Creator, thee, The nations shall adore; Their long misguided pray'rs and praise To thy blest name restore. 5 All shall confess thee great, and great The wonders thou hast done; Confess thee God, the God supreme, Confess thee God alone.
