1 I know that God is just,
I know that He is wise;
I know that great or small to me
Within His vision lies.

Refrain:
I know that God is good;
His wisdom none can tell;
With saints above His name is love;
He doeth all things well.

2 I know that God is love,
Beyond I cannot stray;
For He is all, and therefore love,
The limit of my way. [Refrain]

3 I know that joy or pain
Are swayings of His breath,
And that His gentlest, kindest touch
Is what we now call death. [Refrain]
