God's Faithfulness and Truth

Verse 1

Ye humble saints proclaim abroad The honours of a faithful God, How just and true area all his ways, How much above your highest praise.

Verse 2

The words his sacred lips declare Of his own mind the image bear; What should him tempt, from frailty free, Blest in his self-sufficiency?

Verse 3

He will not his great self deny: A God all truth can never lie: As well might he his being quit, As breaks his oath, or word forget.

Verse 4

Let frighten'd rivers change their course, Or backward hasten to their source; Swift thro' the air let rocks be hurl'd, And mountains like the chaff be whirl'd.

Verse 5

Let sun and stars forget to rise, Or quit their stations in the skies; Let heav'n and earth both pass away, Eternal truth shall ne'er decay.

Verse 6

True to his word, God gave his Son, To die for crimes which men had done; Blest pledge! He never will revoke A single promise he has spoke.
