Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXIII (1766) Topics: Abraham's Blessing of the Gentiles; Children in the Covenant of Grace; Parents and Children Lyrics: 1 How large the Promise! how Divine,
To Abr'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 Cov'nant proves,
And seals the Blessing sure.
3 Jesus the ancient Faith confirms,
To our great Fathers giv'n;
He takes young Children to his Arms,
And calls them Heirs of Heav'n.
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.
