THE BOOK OF GOD'S GOODNESS,
WHICHEVER way I turn,
Whichever way I look
Above, below, around, beside
I read, as in a book,
From all I have, or feel, or see,
That God is very good to me.
At home, my father's smile,
Or mother's tender care
Blessings at bed and board
Attend me everywhere;
And all around will still agree
That God is very good to me.
Then let my childish voice
Give thee, 0 Lord, the praise;
And be thy love my guide
Through all my coming days;
And let my whole existence be
A look of gratitude to thee.
