The Wisdom and Goodness of God. Exod. 34. 6

1 God shall alone the refuge be,
  And comfort of my mind;
  Too wise to be mistaken, He,
  Too good to be unkind.

2 In all his holy, sovereign will,
  He is, I daily find,
  Too wise to be mistaken, still
  Too good to be unkind.

3 [When I the tempter’s rage endure,
  ’Tis God supports my mind;
  Too wise to be mistaken, sure,
  Too good to be unkind.]

4 [When sore afflictions on me lie,
  He is (though I am blind)
  Too wise to be mistaken, yea,
  Too good to be unkind.]

5 What though I can’t his goings see,
  Nor all his footsteps find?
  Too wise to be mistaken, He,
  Too good to be unkind.

6 Hereafter he will make me know,
  And I shall surely find,
  He was too wise to err, and O,
  Too good to be unkind.
