Text:

1 Once did the sons of Abra'm pass
Beneath the bloody seal of grace;
The young disciples bore the yoke,
'Till Christ the painful bondage broke.

2 By milder ways doth Jesus prove
His Father's covenant, and his love;
He seals, to saints his glorious grace,
And kindly owns their infant race.

3 Their seed is sprinkled with his blood,
Their children set a-part for God;
His spirit on their offspring's shed,
Like water pour'd upon the head.

4 Let every saint, with cheerful voice,
In this large covenant rejoice;
Young children, in their early days
Shall give the God of Abra'm praise.
