2002. The God Who Made Both Heaven and Earth

1. The God who made both Heaven and earth
And all that they contain
Will never quit His steadfast truth
Nor make His promise vain.

2. The poor and all oppressed by wrong
Are saved by His decree;
He gives the hungry needful food
And sets the captive free.

3. By Him the blind receive their sight,
By Him the fallen rise;
With constant care, His tender love
All human need supplies.
