Rejoice in the Lord ‎#150

150. Thy Everlasting Truth

1 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, thy ceaseless love,
sees all thy children's wants, and knows
what best for each will prove.

2 Thou ev'rywhere hast sway,
and all things serve thy might;
thy ev'ry act pure blessing is,
thy path unsullied light.

3 Thou seest our weakness, Lord;
our hearts are known to thee;
O lift thou up the sinking hand,
confirm the feeble knee.

4 Let us in life, in death,
thy steadfast will declare,
and publish with our latest breath
thy love and guardian care.
