Title:     Hymn 1:113 [How Large The Promise! How Divine]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Abraham's blessings on the Gentiles, Gen. 17. 7.
Rom. 15. 8. Mark 10. 14.

How large the promise! how divine,
To Abra'am and his seed!
"I'll be a God to thee and thine,
"Supplying all their need."

The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure;
The angel of the covenant proves,
And seals the blessing sure.

Jesus the ancient faith confirms
To our great fathers given;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heaven.

Our God, how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:113 [How Large The Promise! How Divine]
