The Cyber Hymnal ‎#9912

9912. The truth of God shall still endure

1 The truth of God shall still endure
And firm His promise stand;
Believing souls may rest secure
In His almighty hand.

2 Should earth and hell their forces join,
He would contemn their rage,
And render fruitless their design,
Against His heritage.

3 The rainbow round about His throne
Proclaims His faithfulness;
He will His purposes perform,
His promises of grace.

4 Mountains and hills shall melt away,
But He is still the same;
Let saints to Him their homage pay,
And magnify His name.
