HYMN 3. (C. M.) The New Testament in the Blood of Christ; or, the New Covenant sealed.
I
‘The promise of my Father's love‘Shall stand for ever good;’
He said; and gave his soul to death,
And seal'd the grace with blood.
II
To this dear covenant of thy wordI set my worthless name;
I seal th'engagement to my Lord,
And make my humble claim.
III
Thy light, and strength, and pardoning grace,And glory shall be mine;
My life and soul, my heart and flesh,
And all my powers are thine.
IV
I call that legacy my ownWhich Jesus did bequeath;
'Twas purchas'd with a dying groan,
And ratify'd in death.
V
Sweet is the memory of his name,Who bless'd us in his will,
And to his testament of love
Made his own life the seal.
