Acts 7:5: Yet He promised that He would give it to him, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

If God to man a promise make
Our hearts may well be still,
His truth and justice are at stake
And must His word fulfil;
With humble faith's simplicity
The means to God we leave,
Deceived Himself He cannot be,
He cannot us deceive.
