How great the goodness Thou hast stored

Verse 1

How great the goodness Thou hast stored In secret for Thy saints, O Lord, Thy holy name who fear! How great the mercies wrought for those Who do in Thee their trust repose, Before the Lord appear.

Verse 2

Thou in the secret of Thy face, Shalt find for them a hiding place From proud oppressor’s wrongs; A safe retreat for them prepare, And keep them in a covert there, Secure from strife of tongues.

Verse 3

O let Jehovah blessed be, Who showed His wondrous love to me In city fortified; “Cut off from Thee;” I said in fear, Yet Thou my suppliant voice didst hear, When unto Thee I cried.
