“Let God be true, but every man a liar.” Rom. 3. 4

1 The God I trust is true and just;
  His mercy has no end;
  Himself has said my ransom’s paid,
  And I on him depend.

2 Then why so sad, my soul? though bad,
  Thou hast a Friend that’s good;
  He bought thee dear (abandon fear);
  He bought thee with his blood.

3 So rich a cost can ne’er be lost,
  Though faith be tried by fire;
  Keep Christ in view; let God be true;
  And every man a liar.
