[For as I once to Noah swore]
For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me: &c.
—liv. 9, 10.
For as I once to Noah swore
“A flood should drown the world no more,”
Again the gracious oath I take,
Howe'er I may My own chastise,
My utmost wrath shall never rise,
I will no more My church forsake:
“A flood should drown the world no more,”
Again the gracious oath I take,
Howe'er I may My own chastise,
My utmost wrath shall never rise,
I will no more My church forsake:
The hills and mountains may depart,
But deeper rooted in My heart,
From hence thou never shalt remove,
I will not take My Spirit away,
But always with My people stay,
The covenant-God of endless love.
But deeper rooted in My heart,
From hence thou never shalt remove,
I will not take My Spirit away,
But always with My people stay,
The covenant-God of endless love.
