LXVII. Support in God's Covenant under Trouble

1 My God, the covenant of thy love
Abides for ever sure,
And in its matchless grace I feel
My happiness secure.

2 What tho' my house be not with thee,
As nature could desire?
To nobler joys, than nature gives,
Thy servants all aspire.

3 Since thou, the everlasting God,
My father art become;
Jesus my guardian and my friend,
And heaven my final home:

4 I welcome all thy sovereign will:
For all that will is love;
And when I know not what thou dost,
I wait the light above.

5 Thy covenant the last accent claims
Of this poor faltering tongue;
And that shall the first notes employ
Of my celestial song.
