Truth Eternal, Truth Divine
Truth Eternal, Truth Divine
1. Truth eternal, truth divine!In thine ancient fulness shine;Burst the fetters of the mindFrom the millions of mankind,Set the longing nations free,Give the world a jubilee.
2. Ages past have owned Thy sway,Prophets hailed Thy joyful day;In thy cause in days of yore,Battlefields were stained with gore,Saints and seers and heroes fought,Men and angels wonders wrought.
3. Truth again restored to earth,Opened with a Prophet’s birth.Priests of heaven’s royal line,Bearing keys of truth divine,Wide o’er earth the tidings flew,Truth into a kingdom grew.
4. Truth shall triumph as the light,Chases far the misty night,Hurl the tyrant from his throne,Conquer death, and reign alone,Endless ages own its sway,Clad in everlasting day.
