God's Promises

Verse 1

The promises I sing, Which sovereign love hath spoke; Nor will the Eternal King His words of grace revoke; They stand secure and steadfast still; Not Zion's hill abides so sure.

Verse 2

The mountains melt away When once the Judge appears, And sun and moon decay, That measure mortal years; But still the same, in radiant lines His promise shines through all the flame.

Verse 3

Their harmony shall sound Through my attentive ears, When thunders cleave the ground And dissipate the spheres; Midst all the shock of that dread scene, I stand serene, thy word my rock.
