What God is like to Him I serve?

E. Sims

What God is like to Him I serve?

What Saviour like to mine?

O never let me from Thee swerve,

For truly I am Thine.

My thankful mouth shall speak Thy praise,

My tongue shall talk of Thee;

On high my heart O do Thou raise

For what Thou'st done for me.

Go worldlings to your vanities,

And heathen to your gods;

Let them help in adversities

And sanctify their rods;

My God He is not like to yours

Yourselves shall judges be;

I find His love, I know His power --

A succorer of me

He is not man that He should lie,

Nor son of man to unsay;

His word He plighted hath on high,

And I shall live for aye.

And for His sake that faithful is,

That died but now doth live,

The first and last that lives for aye,

Me lasting life shall give.
