Text: | The Faithfulness of God |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
1 My never-ceasing songs shall show
The mercies of the LORD;
And make succeeding ages know
How faithful is His Word.
2 The sacred truths His lips pronounce
Shall firm as heav’n endure;
And if He speak a promise once,
Th’eternal grace is sure.
3 How long the race of David held
The promised Jewish throne!
But there’s a nobler cov'nant sealed
To David’s greater Son.
4 His seed forever shall possess
A throne above the skies;
The meanest subject of His grace
Shall to that glory rise.
5 Lord God of hosts, Thy wondrous ways
Are sung by saints above;
And saints on earth their honors raise
To Thy unchanging love.
