Hymn
How Good Is the God We Adore
How good is the God we adore,
Our faithful unchangeable Friend;
Whose love is as great as His pow’r,
And knows neither measure nor end.
'Tis Jesus the First and the Last,
Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home;
We'll praise Him for all that is past,
And trust Him for all that's to come.
Descending from glory on High
With men He delighted to dwell,
Contented our Surety to die,
Nor e’er did the vilest repel,
Enduring the sorrow and shame,
He suffered for sins on the cross,
Oh, who would not boast of such love,
And count the world’s glory but loss?
