[We first beheld the promise made]

They were persuaded of them, and embraced, &c. —xi. 13.

We first beheld the promise made,
Far off, yet to believers sure;

151

Nor murmur at the bliss delay'd,
But hoping to the end endure;
And wait our pardon seal'd to prove
Our souls renew'd in perfect love.
By faith persuaded more and more,
That God His promise shall fulfil,
We see the peace and saving power
Nearer approach and nearer still,
Till full partakers of His grace,
We, and the word in Christ embrace.
