God shall alone the refuge be,
by Samuel Medley·1814·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)
Based on Exod 34:6
1
God shall alone the refuge be,
And comfort of my mind;
Too wise to be mistaken, He,
Too good to be unkind.
2
In all his holy, sovereign will,
He is, I daily find,
Too wise to be mistaken, still
Too good to be unkind.
3
When I the tempter's rage endure,
'Tis God supports my mind;
Too wise to be mistaken, sure,
Too good to be unkind.
4
When sore afflictions on me lie,
He is (though I am blind)
Too wise to be mistaken, yea,
Too good to be unkind.
5
What though I can't his goings see,
Nor all his footsteps find?
Too wise to be mistaken, He,
Too good to be unkind.
6
Hereafter he will make me know,
And I shall surely find,
He was too wise to err, and O,
Too good to be unkind.
