259. God shall alone the refuge be

Author: Samuel Medley 1738-99

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. What though I can’t his purpose see,
nor all his footsteps find?
Too wise to be mistaken, he,
too good to be unkind.

4. Hereafter he will make me know,
and I shall surely find,
he was too wise to err, and O,
too good to be unkind!
