The Faithfulness of God

Verse 1

Verse 2

Tell of his wondrous faithfulness, And sound his power abroad; sing the sweet promise of his grace, the quickening word of God.

Verse 3

Engraved as in eternal brass, the mighty promise shines; nor can the powers of darkness rase those everlasting lines.

Verse 4

His every word of grace is strong, as that which built the skies; the voice that rolls the stars along speaks all the promises.

Verse 5

Now shall my fainting heart rejoice to know thy favour sure: I trust the all-creating voice, and faith desires no more.
