Hymn Noah's Covenant 332

This hymn reflects on God's covenant with Noah and compares it with the eternal covenant in Christ that saves sinners.

332 God’s Covenant with Noah CM Gen 9:9-11

THE fertile earth shall be no more With waters overflowed, ’Twas thus Jehovah said and swore, And he will make it good.
2 With fury oft the ocean flows And threatens havoc round; But still the mighty ocean knows Its predetermined bound.
3 God’s covenant with his people made, Is equally secure; The promises in Christ their head, Shall firm as heaven endure.
4 His solemn oath he’ll never break, Nor will his truth remove; Th’eternal God will not forsake The objects of his love.
5 Though sin and death their forces join, The feeble to annoy God will protect by power divine And sin and death destroy.
