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;
Tho’ 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 may hand over the way,
Despite your best efforts to do;
The Saviour 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 Saviour for strength to endure,
And think of his goodness to you. [Refrain]
