Hope in the Covenant. Heb. 6. 17-19; Isa. 54. 8

1 How oft have sin and Satan strove
  To rend my soul from thee, my God!
  But everlasting is thy love,
  And Jesus seals it with his blood.

2 The oath and promise of the Lord
  Join to confirm the wondrous grace,
  Eternal power performs the word,
  And fills all heaven with endless praise.

3 Amidst temptations sharp and long,
  My soul to this dear refuge flies;
  Hope is my anchor, firm and strong,
  While tempests blow and billows rise.

4 The gospel bears my spirit up;
  A faithful and unchanging God,
  Lays the foundation of my hope,
  In oaths, and promises, and blood.
