Matthew 24:35: Stands the promise of our Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Stands the promise of our Lord
On which our souls are cast,
Every sure prophetic word
Shall earth and heaven outlast:
Pass away the earth and sky,
Nothing shall our hopes confound;
All who trust His word rely
On an eternal ground.
When Thy Spirit Ave receive.
Thy sayings He reveals,
Truly Lord we then believe
The lively oracles.
Know, that thus the Lord hath said,
And vanquish'd by Thy truth and power.
Reason at Thy feet is laid,
And faith requires no more.
