Abraham's blessing on the Gentiles. <br /> <br />Gen. 17:7; Rom. 15:8; Mk 10:14. <br /> <br />How large the promise, how divine, <br />To Abram and his seed! <br />"I'll be a God to thee and thine, <br />Supplying all their need." <br /> <br />The words of his extensive love <br />From age to age endure; <br />The Angel of the cov'nant proves, <br />And seals the blessing sure. <br /> <br />Jesus the ancient faith confirms, <br />To our great fathers giv'n; <br />He takes young children to his arms, <br />And calls them heirs of heav'n. <br /> <br />Our God, how faithful are his ways! <br />His love endures the same; <br />Nor from the promise of his grace <br />Blots out the children's name.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-113/
