(\'Happy are they, they that love God\')
Galatians 3 v.15-18
*********
If people do make covenant
\'Tis set with firm intent
If confirmed, no one disannuls
It, nor adds, no loopholes
To Abraham and descendant
Promises were made, sent
By God to one, not to many
Christ the descendant be
The covenant was confirmed sure
Of God in Christ, [and] the law
Four hundred and forty years thence
Cancels not promise hence
The law does not make promises
Of no effect, their sense
And worth they ever do retain
Inheritance we gain
For if inheritance of law
Be, it promise no more
But God gave it to Abraham
We saved though Christ the Lamb [of God]
