The God I Trust Is True and Just
Joseph Hart, 1712-1768
The God I trust is true and just;
His mercy has no end;
Himself has said my ransom's paid,
And on him I depend.
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.
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.
