Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #529 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Pardon of original and actual sin; Sin original and actual, confessed and pardoned Lyrics:
Thus saith the mercy of the Lord,
"I'll be a God to thee;
I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they
Shall be a seed for me."
Abram believed the promised grace,
And gave his sons to God;
But water seals the blessing now,
That once was sealed with blood.
Thus Lydia sanctified her house,
When she received the word;
Thus the believing jailer gave
His household to the Lord.
Thus later saints, eternal King!
Thine ancient truth embrace;
To thee their infant offspring bring,
And humbly claim the grace.
