Trust in God’s Faithfulness. 2 Tim. 2. 13; 2 Pet. 1. 4

1 Why should my fears so far prevail,
  When they my hopes accost?
  My faith, though weak, can never fail,
  Nor shall my hopes be lost.

2 A thousand promises are wrote
  In characters of blood;
  And those emphatic lines denote
  The ever-faithful God.

3 Through those dear promises I range;
  And, blessed be his name,
  Though I, a feeble mortal, change,
  His love is still the same.
