Covenant Promises

Don Fortner

(Tune: #414 Am I a Soldier? -- CM)

The cov’nant of God’s sov’reign grace,

    (Eternal, changeless, free!)

    Was made with Jesus Christ our Head

    In old eternity.

 

 

And all those cov’nant promises

    Of God’s salvation free

    Are made secure to God’s elect

    By His all-wise decree.

 

 

“I will be theirs,” the Father said,

    “And they shall all be Mine.

    I’ll pardon their iniquities,

    And blot out every crime!”

 

 

Our Sur’ty, by His precious blood,

    The law’s demands fulfilled,

    And sends His Holy Spirit now

    All cov’nant grace to seal.

 

 

From hence our daily comforts flow,

    A balm for every need;

    And grace experienced confirms

                                        Each promise true indeed!
