Our God in all things works for good His sovereign, gracious will has stood And will through endless ages stand Sustained and ordered by his hand In goodness God stretched out the sky The sun and moon and stars that cry "Almighty God has made all things!" Creation groans yet shouts and sings "Almighty God has made all things!" From heaven's bounty God gives food To saint and rebel, bad and good Our God in all things meets men's needs And just and unjust kindly feeds When clouds descend and troubles rise Despair and darkness, tears and sighs Yet God is good in grief and loss And bears his own who bear their cross Yet God is good in grief and loss Redemption, purchased and applied To favored ones for whom Christ died His lambs he grants repentance free And eyes of faith his cross to see All praise to God who works for good Whose lovingkindness firm has stood And will through endless ages stand Unerring, ordered by his hand And will through endless ages stand
