From thy habitation holy

Can truth divine fulfillment fail?

Author: T. H. Stockton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Can truth divine fulfillment fail? Sooner shall star-crowned nature die! Truth is the very breath of God-- Part of his own eternity. 2 Earth's every pulse may cease to flow, And every voice be heard no more; The forest crumble on the mount-- The sea corrupt upon the shore;-- 3 The moon's supply of light expire, The sun itself grow dense with gloom, And fairer systems, sphered afar, Dissolving, own the common doom. 4 But long as stands Jehovah's throne, Long as his being shall endure, So long the truth his lips proclaim Remains inviolably sure.

Author: R. Grant Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1,146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King all-glorious above, And gratefully sing his wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of his might, and sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee we do trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!
