The Riches of God's Goodness

Verse 1

How great the goodness kept in store For those who fear thee and adore In meek humility. How great the deeds with mercy fraught Which openly thy hand has wrought For those who trust in thee.

Verse 2

Secured by thine unfailing grace, In thee they find a hiding-place When foes their plots devise; A sure retreat thou wilt prepare, And keep them safely sheltered there, When strife of tongues shall rise.

Verse 3

Blest be the Lord, for he has showed, While giving me a safe abode, His love beyond compare; Although his face he seemed to hide, He ever heard me when I cried, And made my wants his care.

Verse 4

Ye saints, Jehovah love and serve, For he the faithful will preserve, And shield from men of pride; Be strong, and let your hearts be brave, All ye that wait for him to save, In God the Lord confide. Amen.
