1 God is with us, God is with us, tho’ His face we cannot see,
And from ev’ry evil power He will ever keep us free;
And He understands us fully,
So our song shall ever be
Best of all, God is with us.

Chorus:
“Best of all, God is with us,”
“Best of all, God is with us,”
The Blesser is our blessing ev’ry day,
“Best of all, God is with us,”
“Best of all, God is with us,”
He is guiding us along life’s rugged way.

2 Tho’ our Father’s hand is leading us to pleasant places here,
Tho’ His perfect love is casting from our hearts all needless fear,
Tho’ the songs our hearts are singing,
Are the songs of hope and cheer,
Best of all, God is with us. [Chorus]

3 Tho’ we have the “Great salvation” and the spirit of the Lord
Is the witness to our spirit of the ever-cleansing blood,
Tho’ we have the revelation,
Of God’s will, His Holy Word,
Best of all, God is with us. [Chorus]
