1 How large the promise! how divine, To Abra'am and his seed! "I'll be a God to thee and thine, "Supplying all their need."
2 The words of his extensive love From age to age endure; The angel of the covenant proves, And seals the blessing sure.
3 Jesus the ancient faith confirms To our great fathers given; He takes young children to his arms, And calls them heirs of heaven.
4 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.
