Fixed the Covenant Is, and Certain

lyricist: Benjamin Beddome (1717–1795)
Composer: From a Gregorian chant

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.

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.

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.

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.
