[If God to man a promise make]

Yet He promised that He would give it to him, &c. —vii. 5.

If God to man a promise make
Our hearts may well be still,
His truth and justice are at stake
And must His word fulfil;
With humble faith's simplicity
The means to God we leave,
Deceived Himself He cannot be,
He cannot us deceive.
