Our God In All Things

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

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

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 loving kindness firm has stood
And will through endless ages stand
Unerring, ordered by his hand
