Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16125 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 First Line: Fixed the cov’nant is, and certain Lyrics:
1 Fixed the cov’nant is, and certain,
Ratified by blood divine;
Saints, with loving exultation,
Celebrate the kind design:
Sing of mercy,
As it now in Jesus shines.
2 Hence proceed unnumbered blessings
Pardon, peace and endless joy,
Those with cov’nant-truth recorded,
Shall our daily thoughts employ:
Precious Bible,
Thus to bring a Savior nigh.
3 All its promises and precepts,
All the doctrines it contains,
Are a rich and boundless treasure,
Far exceeding earthly gains:
Sacred volume,
Antidote to mortal pains.
4 Let thy light be still extended,
Reaching all the human race,
Let the mighty conquering Savior,
Show the glories of His face:
Win the nations,
By His sovereign power and grace.
