Hymn 18  

SUBJECT: WORSHIP OF THE FATHER-HIS FAITHFULNESS
METER: 8.6.8.6.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Samuel A. Ward

1How faithful and trustworthy too,
  My Father God, art Thou;
 The universe and all therein
  Thy faithfulness avow.
Chorus  
  How stedfast is Thy faithfulness!
   For this I worship Thee;
  It is established in the heav’n,
   And ever stands for me.
2No turning shadow could there be,
  Nor any change with Thee;
 As Thou hast been, and now Thou art,
  Forever Thou wilt be.
3Thy word, as certain as Thyself,
  Can never pass away;
 Though heav’n and earth shall disappear,
  Thy word abides for aye.
4Thy gifts without repentance are,
  Thy calling is the same;
 Thy grace forever lasting is,
  Thy mercy as Thy name.
5Thy word with Thine own faithfulness
  A surety is to me;
 By it, with Thy salvation true,
  I have the certainty.
6If, due to self, I trust Thee not,
  Yet Thou art faithful still;
 Thou never canst deny Thyself,
  Thy word Thou shalt fulfill.
7As Thou art faithful to perform
  Thy promise and Thy call;
 So, feeding on Thy faithfulness,
  I take Thyself withal.
8The rainbow round about Thy throne
  Thy faithfulness declares;
 This attribute forevermore
  The holy city bears.
