The LORD Is Good
“The LORD is good.” Yes, none is good as He
Who called us from our darkness to His light,
Gave us to know His Son and ever be
Conformed to His image in His sight.
He is our “stronghold” in earth’s darkest hour—
When seas run high, and tempests shake the soul.
His way is perfect and no adverse power
Can swerve His purpose from the eternal goal.
“He knoweth,” yes, He knoweth all the way
We take. Each heavy trial is to mold
Our wills to His, that we can truly say,
“He trieth me; I shall come forth as gold.”
“He knoweth them that trust in Him” and His love
Is worthy of our confidence entire.
His end will show, in those bright realms above,
The full accomplishment of all desire.
Yes, Thou art good, our Father, and our lines
Fallen in pleasant places. Give us grace
To know that for Thy glory all combines,
And for our good—until we see His face!
F. L. St. Ives, Cornwall September 1934

As for God, His way is perfect. Psalm 18:30
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:28
But, our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, Who has loved us, and given us eternal consolation and good hope by grace, encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 N. Tr.
