The faithfulness of God. <br /> <br />My never-ceasing songs shall show <br />The mercies of the Lord; <br />And make succeeding ages know <br />How faithful is his word. <br /> <br />The sacred truths his lips pronounce <br />Shall firm as heav'n endure; <br />And if he speak a promise once, <br />Th' eternal grace is sure. <br /> <br />How long the race of David held <br />The promised Jewish throne! <br />But there's a nobler cov'nant sealed <br />To David's greater Son. <br /> <br />His seed for ever shall possess <br />A throne above the skies; <br />The meanest subject of his grace <br />Shall to that glory rise. <br /> <br />Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways <br />Are sung by saints above; <br />And saints on earth their honors raise <br />To thy unchanging love.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-89-part-1/
