Verse 1
Heirs of the prophecies are we,
Jesus, who depend on Thee,
By Love Paternal given,
Thou Covenant made with all our race,
Who trust thy death for pardning grace,
For purity, and heaven.
Verse 2
Who in the steps of Abraham tread,
Thee we claim the promis’d Seed,
On the whole earth bestow’d,
Embrace the Saviour of mankind,
And blest in Thee, exult to find
Redemption thro’ thy blood.
Verse 3
We taste that God is good, and see
The divine felicity
To all thy people known,
Assur’d the Father of our Head,
Hath rais’d our Raiser from the dead,
And glorified his Son.
Verse 4
Accomplishing his kind intent,
God into our hearts hath sent
The Spirit of thy love,
Our blood-bought pardon to reveal,
And mark us by his hallowing seal
For thrones prepar’d above.
Verse 5
Peace, joy, and righteousness brought in
Perfect liberty from sin,
Our happiness maintain,
Till Thou receive thy spotless bride,
To sit illustrious at thy side,
And in thy presence reign.
