LORD, You Are Good

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 73

Verse 1

LORD, You are good: I know it well. To You alone the praise is due. If I have stood while others fell, It is Your grace has born me through.

Verse 2

Your presence still my strength supplied, Your hand did every want relieve. Your counsel to the end will guide, Your glory then my soul receive.

Verse 3

Whom, LORD, in heaven, but You alone, Have I whose favor I require? Throughout the wide world there is none, That I before You could desire.

Verse 4

My trembling flesh, and aching heart, May often fail to support me; But You will inward strength impart, And my eternal portion be.
