Jeremiah l. 5. Come, let us use the grace divine, And all, with one accord, In a perpetual covenant join Ourselves to CHRIST the LORD: Give up ourselves, through Jesu's power, His name to glorify; And promise, in this sacred hour, For GOD to live and die.
The covenant we this moment make Be ever kept in mind: We will no more our God forsake, Or cast his words behind.
We never will throw off his fear Who hears our solemn vow: And if thou art well-pleased to hear, Come down, and meet us now!
Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Let all our hearts receive; Present with the Celestial host, The peaceful answer give!
To each the covenant blood apply, Which takes our sins away; And register our names on high, And keep us to that day!
