15856. Although Jehovah Changes Not

1 Although Jehovah changes not,
Nor e’er withdraws His love;
Yet if His precepts are forgot,
He will His saints reprove.

2 If they His holy statutes break,
He then assumes the rod;
And on their sins will vengeance take,
For He’s a righteous God.

3 But His compassions never cease
His promises are sure;
His mercy and His faithfulness,
From age to age endure.
