1 When waves of affliction sweep over the soul, And sunlight is hidden from view, If ever you’re tempted to fret or complain, Just think of His goodness to you.
Refrain: Just think of His goodness to you; Yes, think of His goodness to you; Though storms o’er thee sweep, He is able to keep; O think of His goodness to you.
2 The world may forsake you, and those whom you trust May prove to be false and untrue; There’s one you can trust even unto the end; Just think of His goodness to you. [Refrain]
3 Misfortune’s dark cloud my hang over the way, Despite your best efforts to do; The savior is guarding your treasures up there; Just think of His goodness to you. [Refrain]
4 When dear ones are taken away from you here, You loved with affection so true, Look unto the savior for strength to endure, And think of His goodness to you. [Refrain]
