Lyrics

Truth di­vine, by an­gels spok­en,
Clothed in strains of mu­sic grand;
Like a chain with links un­brok­en,
Like a rock on which we stand.

Refrain

Rock of truth, on Thee abid­ing—
Thus pro­tect­ed we shall be
In Je­ho­vah’s pre­sence hid­ing
Unto all eter­ni­ty.

Truth di­vine, we own thy au­thor,
Maker of eter­nal things,
Praise to Him we glad­ly of­fer
For the hope and grace it brings.

Refrain

We Thy coun­sel, Lord, have taken,
Creeds are crum­bling ’neath our feet:
Here we stand, by sin un­shak­en,
Here we reign in grace com­plete.

Refrain

Law of love, we meek­ly pray thee,
Light and life to us im­part:
Uncondemned, we will ob­ey thee,
Dwell thou ev­er in our heart.
