Truth

The face of truth is open
The eyes of truth are bright
The lips of truth are ever closed
The head of truth is upright

The Breast of truth stands forward
The gaze of truth is straight
Truth has neither fear nor doubt
Truth has patience to wait

The words of truth are touching
The voice of truth is deep
The law of truth is simple
All you sow you reap

The soul of truth is flaming
The heart of truth is warm
The mind of truth is clear
And firm through rain and storm

Facts are only it’s shadow
Truth stands above all sin
Great be the battle of life
Truth in the end shall win

The image of truth is the cross
Wisdom’s message is it’s rod
The sign of truth is Christ
And the soul of truth is God

The life of truth is eternal
Immortal is it’s past
The power of truth shall endure
Truth shall hold to the last
