Thus Saith the Mercy of the Lord
- 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.” - Abram believed the promised grace
and gave his child to God,
but water seals the blessing now
that once was sealed with blood. - Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
to our forefathers 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 his children’s name. - Thus to the parents and their seed
shall thy salvation come;
and numerous households meet at last
in one eternal home.
