Too Good to be Unkind

This hymn is taken from the Beaver's blog.  What a great reminder of who God is, both for us and for them, as they await their 3 whom they are adopting from Russia.  (Their blog entitled "Unto Him We Live " can be found by clicking here.)

 

"God shall alone the refuge be,

     And comfort of my mind;

Too wise to be mistaken, He,

     Too Good to be unkind.

In all his holy, sovereign will,

     He is, I daily find,

Too wise to be mistaken, still

     Too good to be unkind.

When I the tempter's rage endure,

     'Tis God supports my mind;

Too wise to be mistaken, sure,

     Too good to be unkind.

When sore afflictions on me lie,

     He is (though I am blind)

Too wise to be mistaken, yea,

     Too good to be unkind.

Hereafter he will make me know,

     And I shall surely find,

He was too wise to err, and O,

    Too good to be unkind."
