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!
