GOD's Fidelity to his Promises. Heb. x. -23
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
The Promises I sing, Which sov'reign Love hath spoke; Nor will th' eternal King His Words of Grace revoke; They stand secure, And stedfast still; Not Zion's Hill Abides so sure.
The Mountains melt away When once the Judge appears, And Sun and Moon decay, That measure Mortals Years; But still the same In radiant Lines The Promise shines Thro' all the Flame.
Their Harmony shall sound Thro' mine attentive Ears, When Thunders cleave the Ground, And dissipate the Spheres; 'Midst all the Shock Of that dread Scene I stand serene, Thy Word my Rock.
