By thy birth, and by thy tears

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.
