Author: Thomas Hughes Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #468 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Trinity Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God of truth, whose living Word
Upholds whate'er hath breath,
Look down on thy creation, Lord,
Enslaved by sin and death,
2 Set up thy standard, Lord, that we
Who claim a heav'nly birth,
May march with thee to smite the lies
That vex thy groaning earth.
3 Ah! would we join that blest array,
And follow in the might
Of him, the Faithful and the True,
In raiment clean and white!
4 Then, God of truth for whom we long,
Thou who wilt hear our pray'r,
Do thine own battle in our hearts,
And slay the falsehood there.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Conflict with Sin; Missions; Truth; Word of God Scripture: Isaiah 42:3 Languages: English Tune Title: MIRFIELD
