- 1The promise of my Father's love
- Shall stand for ever good:
- He said, and gave his soul to death,
- And seal'd the grace with blood.
- 2To this dear cov'nant of thy word
- I set my worthless name;
- I seal th'engagement to my Lord,
- And make my humble claim.
- 3Thy light, and strength, and pard'ning grace,
- And glory shall be mine;
- My life and soul, my heart and flesh,
- And all my pow'ers are thine.
- 4I call that legacy my own,
- Which Jesus did bequeath;
- 'Twas purchas'd with a dying groan,
- And ratifi'd in death.
- 5Sweet is the mem'ry of his name,
- Who bless'd us in his will,
- And to his testament of love,
- Made his own life the seal.
