Hymn 113

How large the promise, how divine, To Abram and his seed! "I'll be a God to thee and thine, Supplying all their need."

The words of his 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 giv'n; He takes young children to his arms, And calls them heirs of heav'n.

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.
