The Lord is faithful, new each morn His grace,
A steadfast hope that never fades,
His might resounds through earth and sky’s embrace,
A warrior strong whom glory aids.
Merciful, He stays His wrath with love,
Abounding kindness for our plea,
Our strength in toil, a fortress from above,
Our refuge where the weary flee.
Eternal, ere the mountains rose to stand,
His reign outlasts all fleeting days,
Just in His ways, upright His every hand,
The righteous find His light always.
Our peace He grants, as once was sworn of old,
A calm amidst life’s raging sea,
So sings my soul of Him forever bold,
The Lord of all, in whom we’re truly free.
