v.30ff <br />C. M. <br />The covenant of grace unchangeable. <br /> <br />"Yet," saith the Lord, "if David's race, <br />The children of my Son, <br />Should break my laws, abuse my grace, <br />And tempt mine anger down; <br /> <br />"Their sins I'll visit with the rod <br />And make their folly smart; <br />But I'll not cease to be their God, <br />Nor from my truth depart. <br /> <br />"My cov'nant I will ne'er revoke, <br />But keep my grace in mind <br />And what eternal love hath spoke <br />Eternal truth shall bind. <br /> <br />"Once have I sworn (I need no more) <br />And pledged my holiness, <br />To seal the sacred promise sure <br />To David and his race. <br /> <br />"The sun shall see his offspring rise <br />And spread from sea to sea, <br />Long as he travels round the skies <br />To give the nations day. <br /> <br />"Sure as the moon that rules the night <br />His kingdom shall endure, <br />Till the fixed laws of shade and light <br />Shall be observed no more.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-89-part-5/
