[Chorus]
The Father never changes,
His holy Word is true;
Return, O Church, to wisdom,
And let Him lead you through.
[Verse 1]
The Church has turned from wisdom,
And knowledge of the Word;
The ancient paths of holiness
Are scarcely seen or heard.
What once was called abomination
Is practised without shame;
But yesterday, today, for ever,
The Father is the same.
[Chorus]
The Father never changes,
His holy Word is true;
Return, O Church, to wisdom,
And let Him lead you through.
[Verse 2]
The doors that men call freedom
May lead the soul to death;
The enemy deceives the Church
And steals her holy breath.
Unless we seek the former paths
And heed the Father's voice,
The adversary will deceive
The children of His choice.
[Chorus]
The Father never changes,
His holy Word is true;
Return, O Church, to wisdom,
And let Him lead you through.
[Verse 3]
How many homes once joyful
Have broken in their prime;
Though love first joined their willing hearts,
They parted after time.
When hidden idols rise and clash,
The innocent may fall;
For idols bring no lasting good,
They only ruin all.
[Chorus]
The Father never changes,
His holy Word is true;
Return, O Church, to wisdom,
And let Him lead you through.
[Verse 4]
When purity is cast aside
Before the marriage vow,
Two spirits may contend within
The home established now.
O youths, return unto your God,
Forsake the path of sin;
For whatsoever seed you sow,
Its harvest shall begin.
[Chorus]
The Father never changes,
His holy Word is true;
Return, O Church, to wisdom,
And let Him lead you through.
[Verse 5]
The liberty of Jesus Christ
Is not a right to stray;
His grace delivers us from sin
And leads the holy way.
Though men reject His ordinances
And call His statutes vain,
The name of God can never fade;
His righteousness shall reign.
[Chorus]
The Father never changes,
His holy Word is true;
Return, O Church, to wisdom,
And let Him lead you through.
[Verse 6]
The truth may bring division,
As Jesus Christ foretold;
Within a house, the clean and foul
May fight as days unfold.
So wait upon the Father;
Let Him your partner choose:
He will not join the good with evil,
Nor holiness confuse.
[Final Chorus]
The Father never changes,
His holy Word is true;
Return, O Church, to wisdom,
And let Him lead you through.
