Song 149
“It Is Impossible for God to Lie”
1. Our God promised Abraham he would be blest,
For Abraham proved himself true under test.
This blessing he long foresaw by his faith’s eye;
He knew it’s impossible for God to lie.
2. Since God, to show his word’s unchangeableness,
Stepped in with an oath when he Abraham blest,
We have a strong hope and can God glorify,
For it is impossible for Him to lie.
3. To anchor our faith in a hope that’s secure,
Our God by an oath made his promise more sure.
So we all attacks on our faith can defy;
We know it’s impossible for God to lie.
4. Jehovah, the Most High, is faithful and true;
He never fails those who give him his just due.
On two things, his word and oath, we can rely
—Yes, it is impossible for God to lie.
