87 Everlasting Love

He trusts in our Redeemer’s hands His glory and his grace.

2 Then why, my soul, these sad complaints, Since Christ and thou are one? Thy God is faithful to his saints, Is faithful to his Son.

3 Beneath his smiles my heart has lived, And part of heaven possessed. I’ll praise his name for grace received, And trust him for the rest. ISAAC WATTS 1674

86 Covenant Favours

Deut. 4. 31; 2 Cor. 1. 20; Heb. 8. 8-12 S.M. Gospel Mag., 1778

The covenant of free grace, As made with Christ our Head, Is stored with precious promises, By which our souls are fed.

2 The solemn oath of God Confirms each promise true; And Jesus, with his precious blood, Has sealed the covenant, too!

3 Hence all our comforts flow, And balm for every fear; May we by sweet experience know How choice, how rich they are. 87 Everlasting Love

Jer. 31. 31-34; 33. 20, 21

148th J. Kent

With David’s Lord and ours, A covenant once was made, Whose bonds are firm and sure, Whose glories ne’er shall fade! Signed by the sacred Three-in-One, In mutual love, ere time began.

2 Firm as the lasting hills, This covenant shall endure, Whose potent shalls and wills Make every blessing sure: When ruin shakes all nature’s frame, Its jots and tittles stand the same.

3 [Here the vast seas of grace, Love, peace, and mercy flow, That all the blood-bought race Of men, or angels know: O sacred deep, without a shore, Who shall thy limits e’er explore?]

4 Here when thy feet shall fall, Believer, thou shalt see Grace to restore thy soul, And pardon, full and free; Thee with delight shall God behold, A chosen sheep in Zion’s fold. 5 And when through Jordan’s flood Thy God shall bid thee go, His arm shall thee defend, 99
