THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

By Mrs. Susan Birdsall Roberts

BY MRS. SUSAN BIRDSALL ROBERTS.
“O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness.” O THAT our lives were one sweet song; One anthem of continued praise To Him who bought us with His blood, And crowns with good our passing days. What earthly potentate e'er gave His only, well-beloved son An ignominious death to die For crimes that he had never done? Good, do we say? Alas for words! For fitting words to speak His praise; We only know, and see, and feel The love that shines through all His ways. That love has crowned our every hour, Since first we learned to lisp His name; A tender Father, merciful; To-day as yesterday the same. This gracious Spirit comes alike To each receptive, waiting heart; The lowly and the meek to bless With largest measure of His grace, There to abide, nor thence depart.
