God Is Great and God Is Good

Representative Text

God is great, and God is good,
And we thank Him for our food;
By His hand we all are fed;
Give us Lord, our daily bread.

Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
