Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.CXIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 7:7 First Line: How large the promise! how divine 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. Languages: English
