And vanquish every foe; And in this covenant thou shalt view Sufficient strength to bear thee through.

87A Eternal Love L.M.
Eph. 2; Mal. 3. 6
J. Kent
O the mysterious depths of grace! Who shall thy wandering mazes trace? Surpassing human thought to know Where this abyss of love shall flow. 2
’Twas hid in God’s eternal breast, For all his sons in Jesus blest, Whose mystic members, from of old, Were in the book of life enrolled.
3
[Shall one, as now in thy embrace, Before tomorrow fall from grace; Be doomed to Tophet’s endless flame, Where hope or mercy never came?
4
No! glory to his name we say, He’ll love tomorrow as today. No wrath shall e’er his bosom move Towards an object of his love.]
5
No heights of guilt, nor depths of sin, Where his redeemed have ever been, But sovereign grace was underneath, And love eternal, strong as death.
