So Good Is God

From the November 1951 issue of The Christian Science Journal


So good is God, we need not fear to trust Him.
He will requite the faithful, loving heart.
No child of His has ever been forsaken
Or left bewildered in a world apart.

So firm is Love, so constant, so enduring,
That Joseph never faltered in the way.
Who loves his Father also loves his brother
And cannot from His loving presence stray.

So kind is Principle, its law is goodness.
The deed of the Samaritan was blest;
He found the Way, he recognized his neighbor,
For he who seeks the Christ fulfills his quest.

God sent His Son to help us in our journey
From sense to Soul, from darkness into light,
And as we lift our thinking nearer heaven
His goodness dawns upon our inward sight.

"I am the Way," assured our loving Master,
And we must pass beneath his guiding rod;
But never has he bruised a lamb, or touched it
Except to lead it home—so good is God.
