Verse 1

Yes, God is good: in earth and sky, From ocean's depths and spreading wood, Ten thousand voices seem to cry, God made us all, and God is good.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

Yes, God is good, all nature says, By God's own hand with speech endued; And man, in louder notes of praise, Should sing for joy that God is good.

Verse 5

For all Thy gifts we bless Thee, Lord, But chiefly for our heavenly food; Thy pard'ning grace, Thy quick'ning word, These prompt our song that God is good.
