The Lord is very good to those

I The Lord is very good to those Who seek His matchless grace; The needy find supplies in Him, The weak a resting-place.

II The Lord is very good to those Who own His sovereign Will;— A path of safety is for such As His commands fulfil.

III Who hope in God in light and dark, In failure and success, Enjoy a bliss surpassing far Earth's utmost blessedness.

IV And they who seek the love of God May fear no earthly frown; For nought of earth can quench the flame That waters cannot drown.

V O Jesus Christ! in Thee we trust, And rest upon Thy care; In mercy, then, Thy mercy send, In answer to our prayer.

VI Now, unto Christ, the Blessed Son, And God with Whom He dwells, And to the Holy Paraclete, Be glory that excels.
