1 "The 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.
2 To this dear covenant of thy word I set my worthless name; I seal th' engagement to my Lord, And make my humble claim.
3 Thy light, and strength, and pardoning grace, And glory shall be mine; My life and soul, my heart and flesh, And all my powers are thine.
4 I call that legacy my own Which Jesus did bequeath; 'Twas purchas'd with a dying groan, And ratify'd in death.
5 Sweet is the memory of his Name, Who bless'd us in his will, And to his testament of love Made his own life the seal.
