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
The promise shines
Through all the flame.
Their harmony shall sound
Through mine 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.
---Alternative verses---
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.
