Not revealing moral truths is immoral is not self-evident based on your premise. The same way if you set your premise up as god is the source of math who always gives the right answer, then if god says 2+2=5 you can not say he gave the wrong answer! Based on the premise he can not give a wrong answer because he determines how math works.
It's along the lines of a proof by contradiction, but, let's approach it from another angle. Let's assume that God exists and is morally perfect, the source of all moral truth, how would I, as a human being, come to know that?
