BELIEVE GOOD THINGS OF GOD

WHEN in the storm it seems to thee

That He who rules the raging sea

Is sleeping, still, on bended knee,

Believe good things of God.

When thou hast sought in vain to find

The silver thread of love entwined

In life’s soft, tangled web, resigned,

Believe good things of God.

And should He smite thee till thy heart

Is crushed beneath the bruising smart,

Still, while the bitter teardrops start,

Believe good things of God.

‘Tis true thou mayst not understand

The dealings of thy Father’s hand;

But trusting what His love hath planned,

Believe good things of God.

He loves thee; in that love confide;

Unchanging, faithful, true and tried;

And through whatever may betide,

Believe good things of God.
