Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXVII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My God, the covenant of thy love, Lyrics: 1 My God, the covenant of thy love
Abides for ever sure,
And in its matchless grace I feel
My happiness secure.
2 What tho' my house be not with thee,
As nature could desire?
To nobler joys, than nature gives,
Thy servants all aspire.
3 Since thou, the everlasting God,
My father art become;
Jesus my guardian and my friend,
And heaven my final home:
4 I welcome all thy sovereign will:
For all that will is love;
And when I know not what thou dost,
I wait the light above.
5 Thy covenant the last accent claims
Of this poor faltering tongue;
And that shall the first notes employ
Of my celestial song. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Covenant of Grace; Covenant of grace Supporting under trouble Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:5 Languages: English
