VI.

‘Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature.’—2 Pet. i. 4.

Then, exceeding great and precious are Thy promises Divine;
Given by Christ, and by the Spirit sealed with sweetest ‘All are thine!’
Precious in their peace and power, in their sure and changeless might,
Strengthening, comforting, transforming; suns by day and stars by night.
