Thou Hast Been Alway Good To Me. (Hymn)
"He doeth all things well." Thou hast been alway good to me and mine Since our first father by transgression fell. Through all Thy sorest judgments love doth shine - Lord, of a truth, Thou doest all things well. Thou didst the food of immortality Compass with flame, lest he thereto should win. But what? his doom, yet eating of that tree, Had been immortal life of shame and sin! I would not last immortal in such wise; Desird death, not life, is now my song. Through death shall I go back to Paradise, And sin no more - Sweet death, tarry not long! One did prevail that closd gate to unseal, Where yet th' immortalizing tree doth grow; He shall there meet us, and once more reveal The fruit of life, where crime is not, nor woe.
