Too Wise to be Mistaken — Too Good to be Unkind

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

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

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

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

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

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