God's Promise Unchangeable

Isaac Watts (1709) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 65

Verse 1

How oft have sin and Satan strove To rend my soul from thee, my God! But everlasting is thy love, And Jesus seals it with his blood.

Verse 2

The oath and promise of the Lord Join to confirm the wondrous grace, Eternal power performs the word, And fills all heaven with endless praise.

Verse 3

Amidst temptations sharp and long, My soul to this dear refuge flies; Hope is my anchor, firm and strong, While tempests blow and billows rise.

Verse 4

The gospel bears my spirit up; A faithful and unchanging God, Lays the foundation of my hope, In oaths, and promises, and blood.
