Yes, God is good - in earth and sky


    • Yes, God is good - in earth and sky,
    • from ocean-depths and spreading wood,
    • ten thousand voices seem to cry:
    • 'God made us all, and God is good.'

    • The sun that keeps his trackless way
    • and downward pours his golden flood,
    • night's sparkling hosts, all seem to say
    • in accents clear that God is good.

    • The merry birds prolong the strain,
    • their song with ev'ry spring renewed;
    • and balmy air and falling rain,
    • each softly whispers: 'God is good.'

    • We hear it in the rushing breeze;
    • the hills that have for ages stood,
    • the echoing sky and roaring seas,
    • all swell the chorus: 'God is good.'

    • For all thy gifts we bless thee, Lord,
    • but chiefly for our heav'nly food,
    • thy pard'ning grace, thy quick'ning word,
    • these prompt our song, that God is good.
