Hymn 12

Thy Word, Eternal, Is Truth Evermore

Verse 1

Help us, O God,for the merciful cease;

Faithfulness fails;wicked men have their way.

They all speak lies; all with double heart speak;

God shall cut off those who speak boastfully.

Verse 2

Poor men are crushed, and the needy have sighed.

God will arise; their deliverer shall be.

He’ll set them safe;for His promise is pure;

Thy word, Eternal, is truth evermore.

Last Verse

Men’s words are false;they are empty and vain.

Each utters lies;to his neighbor he boasts;

They put their trustin their flattering speech,

Exalted are theyamong sons of men.
