HYMN 40. (C. M.) Our Comfort in the Covenant made with Christ.
I
Our God, how firm his promise stands,E'en when he hides his face!
He trusts in our Redeemer's hands
His glory and his grace.
II
Then why, my soul, these sad complaints,Since Christ and we are one?
Thy God is faithful to his saints,
Is faithful to his Son.
III
Beneath his smiles my heart has liv'd,And part of heaven possess'd;
I praise his name for grace receiv'd,
And trust him for the rest.
