Hymn
"Kept by the power of God through faith into salvation"
My God! the covenant of Thy love
Abides for ever sure;
And in its matchless grace I feed
My happiness secure.
Since Thou, the everlasting God,
My Father art become,
Jesus, my Guardian and my Friend,
And heaven my final home,--
I welcome all Thy sovereign will,
For all that will is love;
And when I know not what Thou dost,
I wait the light above.
Thy cov'nant in the darkest gloom
Shall heavenly rays impart,
Which, when my eyelids close in death,
Shall warm my chilling heart.
