The promise of my Father's love

Verse 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.

Verse 2

To this dear cov'nant of thy word I set my worthless name; I seal th'engagement to my Lord, And make my humble claim.

Verse 3

Thy 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.

Verse 4

I call that legacy my own, Which Jesus did bequeath; 'Twas purchas'd with a dying groan, And ratifi'd in death.

Verse 5

Sweet 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.
