Isaiah 49:8: I will give Thee for a covenant of the people, &c

Treaty of peace 'twixt God and man,
Thee, Jesus, Thee we gladly own,
Whate'er the covenant doth contain
Is all comprised in Thee alone;
Its Surety Thou, its blessings art,
Its substance in Thy people's heart.

Come then. Thy Father's will to do.
His wisdom, and effectual power:
Thou only canst our earth renew,
Our desolated souls restore;
And fill the drooping heart with peace,
And stablish us in righteousness.

The ghastly wastes which sin hath made,
God of almighty love, repair,
Revive our piety decay'd,
Rising out of her ruins fair
Thy church. Thy blameless body, show
The plenitude of God below.
