William Cowper - Olney Hymn 13: The Covenant
Work rating: Low

The Lord proclaims His grace abroad! 
"Behold, I change your hearts of stone; 
Each shall renounce his idol-god, 
And serve, henceforth, the Lord alone. 

"My grace, a flowing stream, proceeds 
To wash your filthiness away; 
Ye shall abhor your former deeds, 
And learn my statutes to obey. 

"My truth the great design ensures, 
I give myself away to you; 
You shall be mine, I will be yours, 
Your God unalterably true. 

"Yet not unsought or unimplored, 
The plenteous grace I shall confer; 
No — your whole hearts shall seek the Lord, 
I`ll put a praying spirit there. 

"From the first breath of life divine 
Down to the last expiring hour, 
The gracious work shall all be mine, 
Begun and ended in my power."
