Ι Ο God of truth, Whose liv-ing Word Up - holds what-e'er hath breath, ddd d 2 Set up Thy standard, Lord, that we Who claim a heavenly birth May march with Thee to smite the lies That vex Thy groaning earth. 3 Ah! would we join that blest array, And follow in the might Of Him, the Faithful and the True, 4 We fight for truth, we fight for God, Poor slaves of lies and sin! He who would fight for Thee on earth Must first be true within. 5 Then, God of truth for Whom we long, Thou Who wilt hear our prayer, Do Thine own battle in our hearts, And slay the falsehood there. 6 Still smite, still burn, till naught is left But God's own truth and love; Then, Lord, as morning dew come down, Rest on us from above. 7 Yea, come; then, tried as in the fire, From every lie set free, Thy perfect truth shall dwell in us, 499 BETHLEHEM. 1 Our Father!
