The Truth of God

Can truth di­vine ful­fill­ment fail?

Sooner shall star-crowned na­ture die!

Truth is the ve­ry breath of God—

Part of His own eter­ni­ty!

Earth’s ev­ery pulse may cease to flow

And ev­ery voice be heard no more

The for­est crum­ble on the mount—

The sea cor­rupt up­on the shore;

The moon’s sup­ply of light ex­pire

The sun it­self grow dense with gloom

And fair­er sys­tems

sphered afar

Dissolving

own the com­mon doom.

But long as stands Je­ho­vah’s throne

Long as His be­ing shall en­dure

So long the truth His lips pro­claim

Remains in­vi­ol­ab­ly sure.
