Of the Holy Advocate Divine & Of the Truth of Divine Scripture

Glory the Holy Ghost Divine

We give glory Thee, Holy Ghost Divine
We praise Thee, O Holy Ghost
We honor Thee, O Divine Comforter
We laud and thank Thee, O Helper Divine

Thou art holy alone O God
Thou art righteous alone O Spirit
Thou art precious to me O Lord
Thou art purity divine O Spirit of love

We worship Thee
By delighting in Thee
We come; we come
Hear us this day O Righteous Advocate

Amen. 

The London Confession of Faith of 1689 is a blessed Confession.  When I wrote the below hymn I certainly did not mean that it is equal to the Word of God.  It is in fact a subordinate standard to God’s written Word.  Therefore it is not equal to the written, God-breathed Scriptures.  I have chosen to write a hymn on the Confession because it is dear to my heart.  It is based upon the divine Scripture.  It is unequaled truth, and I love truth.  It is sacred and holy.  I hope for you to see the peace, unity and purity of the Confession by this hymn.  God’s truth is sacred, timeless and true.  We ought to believe it passionately without wavering from it because of the honor of God.

Uncompromising Truth

O Lord of truth divine
Shall I flee to worldly design?
No apostate shall I be
Changed Thine own by Thy Spirit
Thou art God of truth and grace
Of the flawless Word divine
Uncompromising Lord of glory
Lo! A ocean of truth and grace
Jesus, always faithful in what to say
Lo! A ocean of truth and grace
Jesus, always faithful in what to say

O God of unwavering truth
Shall we compromise this day?
Or believe Thy Word and stay
In Thy holy truth divine
Of the prophets and apostles
Rooted in the God of truth
Thy Word is divinely adequate
Lo! Truth of truth Thy Word is true
Surely the Word divine, precious treasure of truth divine
Lo! Truth of truth Thy Word is true
Surely the Word divine, precious treasure of truth divine

Should I flee to the Roman see?
Where Thy Word is not enough
And Tradition overthrows Thy words
Here I come to Thy Word alone
Humbled, broken; Thy Word, a guide
Here I rely on Thy Word of truth
Lo! A spring of truth I see abounding before me
In Thy Word, equipped to every good work
Lo! A spring of truth I see abounding before me
In Thy Word, equipped to every good work

Surely Thy Word alone will do
No tradition of Rome to use, but Thy Word
Received by Thy fathers of old
Resting and anchored in the Word divine
Truly a treasure of sweetest peace
God-breathed gift of truth and grace
Lo! A lamp to my feet and light in darkness
Thy Word, a foundation of divine truth
Lo! A lamp to my feet and light in darkness
Thy Word, a foundation of divine truth

Here we see the divine Word
Speaking the gospel of divine righteousness
Only the righteousness of Christ will avail
Here we see the gospel truth
Thy Word of imputed merit
By Thy work seen in Thy Word
Lo! A gift of divine treasure
Prophetic utterances of heavenly peace
Lo! A gift of divine treasure
Prophetic utterances of heavenly peace

Amen.
