Psalms ‎#89b

89b. The Faithfulness of God

1 My never-ceasing song shall show
The mercies of the Lord;
And make succeeding ages know
How faithful is his word.

2 The sacred truths his lips pronounce
Shall firm as heav'n endure;
And if he speak a promise once,
Th' eternal grace is sure.

3 How long the race of David held
The promis'd Jewish throne!
But there's a nobler cov'nant seal'd
To David's greater Son.

4 His seed for ever shall possess
A throne above the skies;
The meanest subjects of his grace
Shall to that glory rise.

5 Lord God of hosts, thy wond'rous ways
Are sung by saints above;
And saints on earth their honours raise
To thy unchanging love.
