Stability of Covenant. Ps. 89. 28; Isa. 54. 9, 10

1 Rejoice, ye saints, in every state,
  Divine decrees remain unmoved;
  No turns of providence abate
  God’s care for those he once has loved.

2 Firmer than heaven his covenant stands,
  Though earth should shake and skies depart.
  You’re safe in your Redeemer’s hands,
  Who bears your names upon his heart.

3 Our Surety knows for whom he stood
  And gave himself a sacrifice:
  The souls once sprinkled with his blood,
  Possess a life that never dies.

4 Though darkness spread around our tent,
  Though fear prevail and joy decline,
  God will not of his oath repent:
  Dear Lord, thy people still are thine!
