Praise for Truth

1Praise to Him by whose kind favor Heav'nly truth has reached our ears;
May its sweet reviving savor Fill our hearts and calm our fears.

2Truth! how sacred is the treasure!
Teach us,
Lord, its worth to know;
Vain the hope, and short the pleasure Which from other sources flow.

3What of truth we have been hearing,
Fix,
O Lord, in ev'ry heart;
In the day of Thy appearing May we share Thy people's part.
