GOOD is the Lord, the heav'nly King,

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

5 Verses God's Provision Harvest Thanksgiving Creation & Nature

Verse 1

GOOD is the Lord, the heav'nly King, Who makes the earth His care; Visits the pastures ev'ry spring, And bids the grass appear.

Verse 2

The clouds, like rivers, raised on high, Pour out at Thy command Their watery blessings from the sky, To cheer the thirsty land.

Verse 3

The soften'd ridges of the field Permit the corn to spring; The valleys rich provision yield, And the poor labourers sing.

Verse 4

The little hills on every side Rejoice at falling showers; The meadows, dress'd in all their pride, Perfume the air with flowers.

Verse 5

The various months Thy goodness crowns; How bounteous are Thy ways! The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs, And shepherds shout Thy praise.
