The Psalms of David ‎#153a

153a. The Faithfulness of GOD

1 My never ceasing Songs 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 Oromise 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.
