God of all Goodness.

GOD of the world! thy glories shine, Through earth and heaven, with rays divine; Thy smile gives beauty to the flower, Thine anger to the tempest power.

God of our lives! the throbbing heart Doth at thy beck its action start; Throbs on, obedient to thy will, Or ceases at thy fatal chill.

God of eternal life! thy love Doth every stain of sin remove; The cross, the cross,—its hallowed light Shall drive from earth her cheerless night.

God of all goodness; to the skies Our hearts in grateful anthems rise; And to thy service shall be given The rest of life, the whole of heaven.
