tr., John Brownlie
8.6.8.6
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.
