Jehovah is a God of might,
He framed the earth, he built the sky;
And what he speaks is surely right—
“The strength of Israel will not lie”—
Ye weary souls, with sin opprest,
To him in every trouble fly:
His promise is, "I'll give you rest—
The strength of Israel will not lie."
Then why sunk down beneath despair?
To Jesu's throne of grace apply;
His promise plead—he'll hear your Prayer;
"The strength of Israel will not lie."
Ask what you will in Jesus' name,
He never will your suit deny;
To save you from distress he came;
"The strength of Israel will not lie."
Behold! I come, most gracious Lord,
And on thy promise now rely;
In my distress how sweet this word,
The strength of Israel will not lie.
---Alternative verses---

And what he speaks is surely right—
“The strength of Israel will not lie”—
Ask what you will in Jesu's name,
He never will your suit deny;
To save you from distress he came;
"The strength of Israel will not lie."
