How Large the Promise! How Divine

How large the pro­mise! how di­vine

To Ab­ram and his seed!

I’ll be a God to thee and thine

Supplying all their need.

The words of His ex­ten­sive love

From age to age en­dure;

The an­gel of the co­ve­nant proves

And seals the bless­ing sure.

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.

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.
