1 Can truth divine fulfillment fail?
Sooner shall star-crowned nature die!
Truth is the very breath of God—
Part of His own eternity!
2 Earth’s every pulse may cease to flow,
And every voice be heard no more
The forest crumble on the mount—
The sea corrupt upon the shore;
3 The moon’s supply of light expire,
The sun itself grow dense with gloom,
And fairer systems, sphered afar,
Dissolving, own the common doom.
4 But long as stands Jehovah’s throne,
Long as His being shall endure
So long the truth His lips proclaim
Remains inviolably sure.
