First Line: Yet (saith the Lord) if David's race Lyrics: 1 Yet (saith the Lord) if David's race,
The children of my son,
Should break my laws, abuse my grace
And tempt mine anger down;
2 Their sins I'll visit with the rod,
And make their folly smart;
But I'll not cease to be their God,
Nor from my truth depart.
3 My covenant I will ne'er revoke,
But keep my grace in mind;
And what eternal love hath spoke,
Eternal truth shall bind.
4 Once have I sworn (I need no more)
And pledg'd my holiness,
To seal the sacred promise sure
To David and his race.
5 The sun shall see his offspring rise
And spread from sea to sea,
Long as he travels round the skies
To give the nations day.
5 Sure as the moon that rules the night
His kingdom shall endure,
Till the fix'd laws of shade and light
Shall be observ'd no more.
