PLEADING THE COVENANT.
“To such as keep his covenant.”—Psalm ciii. 17.
O Thou whose covenant is sure
To all who fear Thy name;
Whose mercies age on age endure,
Eternally the same:
To all who fear Thy name;
Whose mercies age on age endure,
Eternally the same:
Thou art our Father's God; we plead
That title: we are Thine.
Pour down Thy Spirit on our seed,
And sanctify our line.
That title: we are Thine.
Pour down Thy Spirit on our seed,
And sanctify our line.
In Thee our fathers put their trust:
Thy ways they humbly trod.
Honoured and sacred is their dust,
And still they live to God.
Thy ways they humbly trod.
Honoured and sacred is their dust,
And still they live to God.
Heirs to their faith, their hope, their prayers,
We the same path pursue.
Entail the blessing to our heirs:
Lord! shew Thy promise true.
We the same path pursue.
Entail the blessing to our heirs:
Lord! shew Thy promise true.
