The God of faithfulness and love

Verse 1
The God of faithfulness and love,
His mercy and his truth to prove,
Hath call’d his word to mind,
Hath succour on the Mighty laid,
And sent in Christ his saving aid
To us, and all mankind.

Verse 2
He hath his promises fulfil’d,
Jesus is in our flesh reveal’d
To every sinner given,
And all of Abraham’s lot possest
May live emphatically blest
With pardon, grace, and heaven.
