Description

A hymn on the faithfulness of God from the series of hymns titled "The Lord Is"

Lyrics

The Lord is faithful, just, and true, the source of truth and reason.
His faithfulness is manifest in every changing season.
His promises are sure;
His Word our hope secures.
God cannot lie or change;
His covenants remain
Before all time and ever.

The Lord has kept His promises to send us a Redeemer:
The true and living Word appeared for lying, faithless sinners.
The Son of God obeyed
And on the cross He stayed;
Since faithfully He lived,
We trust God will forgive
All who rely on Jesus.

The Lord will never let us go but keep us by His power;
His faithfulness will ever be our strong and mighty tower.
In failure and in pain,
He faithful will remain,
So let us keep our word
And make His promise heard.
His Word endures forever.
