By Helen Steiner Rice:
When God makes a promise,
It remains forever true,
For everything God promises
He unalterably will do.

And every hope is blighted
Recall the promises of God
And your faith will be relighted.

Spencer J. Condie, "Claim the Exceeding Great and Precious Promises," Ensign, Nov. 2007, 18
