GOD IS GREAT AND GOOD.

  • I know God made the sun
    To fill the day with light;
    He made the twinkling stars
    To shine all through the night.
  • He made the hills that rise
    So very high and steep;
    He made the lakes and seas,
    That are so broad and deep.
  • He made the streams so wide,
    That flow through wood and vale;
    He made the rills so small,
    That leap down hill and dale.
  • He made each bird that sings
    So sweetly all the day;
    He made each flower that springs
    So bright, so fresh, so gay.
  • And He who made all these,
    He made both you and me;
    Oh, let us thank Him, then,
    For great and good is He.
