God's Goodness

Representative Text

1 God is good to us, dear children,
God is good through all the year,
Gives us all our food and clothing,
Homes and hearths and loved ones dear.
He sent all the happy summer,
Show'rs and sunshine warm and bright,
Trees and birds and grass and flowers,
Strength and gladness, day and night.

2 God loves all who are His children,
Keeps them safely night and day,
Loves to see them glad and helpful,
In their work and in their play.
Let us sing a song, dear children,
To the praise of God above,
Sing a song of glad thanksgiving,
Thanks for all His wond'rous love.
