Hymn CXI. Common Metre. The Blessings of Abraham
by Anonymous
How large the promise, how divine To Abrah'm and his seed! "I'll be a God to thee, and thine, Supplying all their need."
The words of thy extensive love From age to age endure; The angel of the cov'nant proves And seals the blessing sure.
Jesus the ancient faith confirms, To our great fathers given; He takes young children in his arms, And calls them heirs of heaven.
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.
