DECEIT and falsehood we abhor, But, Lord, we love Thy holy law; Thou art the glorious God of grace, Our only shield and hiding-place!
From evildoers we’ll keep apart, And yield to Thee a loyal heart; If any should pervert Thy Word We will not greet them ‘in the Lord’.
In keeping mercy show Thy power To hold us up in this dark hour; And when our spiritual foes oppress, Then, Lord, look down, protect and bless.
Draw near, O God, in this our day, Expose the false, the evil way; O, vindicate Thy Truth sublime, Surely, this is an urgent time!
