Ye humble souls, proclaim abroad
The honours of a faithful God;
How just and true are all his ways;
How much above your highest praise!
The words his sacred lips declare
Of his own mind the image bear;
What should him tempt, from frailty free,
Blest in his self-sufficiency?
He will not his great self deny;
A God all truth can never lie:
As well might he his being quit.
As break his oath, or word forget.
Let frightened rivers change their course,
Or backward hasten to their source;
Swift through the air let rocks be hurled,
And mountains like the chaff be whirled.
Let sun and stars forget to rise,
Or quit their station in the skies;
Let heaven and earth both pass away,
Eternal truth shall ne'er decay.
True to his word, God gave his son,
To die for crimes which men had done;
Blest pledge! he never will revoke
A single promise lie has spoke.
