How faithful and trustworthy too (Hymn 18)

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