Composer:John T. Layton

59. 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 condemn 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 The hills and mountains melt away,
But He is still the same;
Let saints to Him their homage pay
And magnify His name.

Amen.
