Thus Saith the Mercy of the Lord

  1. Thus saith the mercy of the Lord:
    “I’ll be a God to thee;
    I’ll bless thy numerous race, and they
    shall be a seed to me.”
  2. Abram believed the promised grace
    and gave his child to God,
    but water seals the blessing now
    that once was sealed with blood.
  3. Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
    to our forefathers 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 his children’s name.
  5. Thus to the parents and their seed
    shall thy salvation come;
    and numerous households meet at last
    in one eternal home.
