Isaiah 54:9, 10: For as I once to Noah swore
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
For as I once to Noah swore
"A flood should drown the world no more,"
Again the gracious oath I take,
Howe'er I may My own chastise,
My utmost wrath shall never rise,
I will no more My church forsake:
The hills and mountains may depart,
But deeper rooted in My heart,
From hence thou never shalt remove,
I will not take My Spirit away.
But always with My people stay,
The covenant-God of endless love.
