HYMN 113. (C. M.) Abraham's Blessings on the Gentiles, Gen. xvii. 7. Rom. xv. 8. Mark x. 14.
I
How large the promise! how divineTo Abr'am and his seed!
‘I'll be a God to thee and thine,
‘Supplying all their need.’
II
The words of his extensive loveFrom age to age endure;
The angel of the covenant proves,
And seals the blessing sure
III
Jesus the ancient faith confirmsTo our great fathers given;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heaven.
IV
Our God, how faithful are his ways!His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.
