- 1How large the promise, how divine,
- To Abram and his seed!
- "I'll be a God to thee and thine,
- Supplying all their need."
- 2The words of his extensive love
- From age to age endure;
- The Angel of the cov'nant proves,
- And seals the blessing sure.
- 3Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
- To our great fathers giv'n;
- He takes young children to his arms,
- And calls them heirs of heav'n.
- 4Our God, how faithful are his ways!
- His love endures the same;
- Nor from the promise of his grace
- Blots out the children's name.
