Hymn 121
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 17:7 First Line: Thus saith the mercy of the Lord 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.

Hymn 113
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 154 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 17:7 First Line: How large the promise, how divine Lyrics:
How large the promise, how divine,
To Abram 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 cov'nant proves,
And seals the blessing sure.
Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our great fathers giv'n;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heav'n.
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.
Hymn 113
The God of Abraham praise
Author: Thomas Olivers (1725-1799) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 455 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 17:1-5 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting days,
and God of love.
Jehovah, Great I AM!
by earth and heaven confessed,
I bow, and bless the sacred name
for ever blest.
2 The God of Abraham praise,
at whose supreme command
from earth I rise, and seek the joys
at his right hand.
I all on earth forsake,
its wisdom, fame and power,
and him my only portion make,
my shield and tower.
3 He by himself has sworn,
I on his oath depend:
I shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
to heaven ascend;
I shall behold his face,
I shall his power adore
and sing the wonders of his grace
for evermore.
4 There dwells the Lord our King,
the Lord our Righteousness,
triumphant o'er the world and sin,
the Prince of Peace;
on Zion's sacred height
his kingdom he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light
for ever reigns.
5 The whole triumphant host
give thanks to God on high;
'Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!'
they ever cry.
Hail, Abraham's God, and mine!–
I join the heavenly praise–
all might and majesty are thine,
through endless days. Topics: The Activity of God God in human experience; Adoration Of God; Communion of Saints; Covenant; Heaven Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Based on the Jewish Yigdal

Author: E. Embree Hoss Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Lyrics: 1 O God, great Father, Lord and King,
our children unto you we bring.
We come in faith and hope and love;
we dare your steadfast word to prove.
2 Your covenant blessing did of old
our parents and their seed enfold.
That ancient promise stands secure
and shall while heaven and earth endure.
3 Look down upon us while we pray
and visit us in grace today.
These little ones you did receive;
your precious promise we believe.
4 They now the outward sign receive;
your promised Holy Spirit give.
O keep and help them by your power
in every hard and trying hour.
5 Direct their feet in holy ways
and shine on them through darkest days.
Uphold them till their life is past
and bring them all to heaven at last.
