Too wise to be mistaken, Too good to be unkind.

C.M.

God shall alone the refuge be

By Samuel Medley

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.
