Hymn
God's Promises
- Writer
- Philip Doddridge
The promises I sing,
Which sovereign love hath spoke;
Nor will the Eternal King
His words of grace revoke;
They stand secure and steadfast still;
Not Zion's hill abides so sure.
The mountains melt away
When once the Judge appears,
And sun and moon decay,
That measure mortal years;
But still the same, in radiant lines
His promise shines through all the flame.
Their harmony shall sound
Through my attentive ears,
When thunders cleave the ground
And dissipate the spheres;
Midst all the shock of that dread scene,
I stand serene, thy word my rock.
