56. He is True

1 To my soul Christ came with healing,
Bringing pace I never knew;
Wondrous truth to me revealing,
Others fail but He is true.

Refrain:
He is true, when shadows veil me,
He is true, when foes assail me,
He is true, tho’ others fail me,
He is true, yes, He is true.

2 When temptations overtake me,
And my friends are cold and few,
When I fall He’ll not forsake me,
Others fail but He is true. [Refrain]

3 When ‘tis dark, what does it matter,
Tho’ the clouds obscure my view,
At His word my troubles scatter,
Others fail but He is true. [Refrain]

4 So I thank Him for salvation,
That can all my soul renew,
Binding me in close relation
To His heart, for He is true. [Refrain]
