Covenant
Promises

(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!
