From ancient times I have declared, I am Jehovah, God alone

Verse 1

From ancient times I have declar'd, I am JEHOVAH, GOD alone, A righteous God, and Me besides A saviour is, or can be none.

Verse 2

Then look to me ye fainting souls, In ev'ry place, in ev'ry land; And ye shall joyfully receive Salvation at my mighty hand.

Verse 3

For I am God, and none besides, I even by My self have sworn In righteousness: and now the word Gone from my mouth, shall not return:

Verse 4

It is, 'that every knee to Me 'Shall bow, and ev'ry tongue shall swear, 'And say, that in the LORD alone 'My strength and righteousnesses are:'

Verse 5

Yea all who feel their wretchedness With humble joy shall come to Him: But those who with Him are displeas'd, Shall be distress'd with endless shame.

Verse 6

In Thee, JEHOVAH, Isr'els race, All fully justify'd shall be; In Thee shall triumph oe'r their foes, And all be glorify'd in Thee.
