The scriptures say;
God’s Covenant with Abraham*
Continues to this day.
Ten thousand generations partly span
The length of it—-
Or thirty thousand years at least—-
Enough to make an angel sit!
On Zion’s Mount a Shepherd King
Could lift his eyes and see
A shining sign of Covenant—-**
The Moon in all her beauty.
A war has flamed up in the East,#
The world we know is crumbling fast;
Like Jacob we can rest assured,
That promises God gave will last***.
O watchmen, posted on the walls,
Be wise and take your sleep;
The love of God holds steadfast, strong,
And all He promised He will keep.
