God of eternal Love

Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Covenant of Grace unchangeable Lyrics: 1 God of eternal Love, How fickle are our Ways! And yet how oft did Isr'el prove Thy constancy of Grace! 2 They saw thy Wonders wrought, And then thy Praise they sung; But soon thy Works of Pow'r forgot, And murmur'd with their Tongue. 3 Now they believe his Word While Rocks with Rivers flow; Now with their Lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduc'd them low. 4 Yet when they mourn'd their Faults, He hearken'd to their Groans, Brought his own Cov'nant to his Thoughts, And call'd 'em still his Sons. 5 Their Names were in his Book, He sav'd 'em from their Foes: Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook The People that he chose. 6 Let Isr'el bless the Lord, Who lov'd their ancient Race: And Christians join the solemn Word, Amen, to all the Praise. Scripture: Psalm 106:43-48

Let joy above all joys surprise the islands of the sea; ye mountains sink; ye valleys rise; prepare the LORD his way. 3 Behold, he comes, he comes to bless the nations as their God, to show the world his righteousness, and send his truth abroad. But when his voice shall raise the dead, and bid the world draw near, how will the guilty nations dread to see their judge appear. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
