God’s faithfulness is greater Than all my faithlessness; His nature and His being Became my blessedness; His calling and His keeping In Christ the Son, so sweet, Will sanctify me wholly, And will preserve complete.
This hymn is very rich in the truth concerning God's relationship with us. Oh, how it deepens our love for Him! We should be those who love Him, abide in Him, trust Him, enjoy Him, and share Him with others. Thank you Lord for those who can write such hymns to strengthen and encourage us in our daily living.
