Hebrews 8:8: J will make a new covenant, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Engraven on my heart and mind,
O that I could Thy precepts find,
Begotten from above,
The nature contrary to sin,
The' essential righteousness brought in,
The perfect law of love.
The law of glorious liberty,
When wilt Thou, Lord, impart to me?
My soul divinely pure,
Again in holiness create,
Restore me to my first estate,
And make the covenant sure?
Thy covenant of redeeming grace
Stablish with all the faithful race,
Eternally forgiven.
Redeem 'd from inward pravity,
In every point conform'd to Thee,
And take us up to heaven.
