Tune: Bleanwern
('Lord, who in they perfect wisdom'
= 'Love divine, all loves excelling')
Hebrews 8 v.7-12
For St David's Day: March 1.
********
The Lord God a new covenant
Did He make, was His intent
He said, Behold, not according
To old, but new I shall bring
For they of past times continued
Not in it, though I them led
But a new thing I will bring sure
To all folk of every shore
This is the covenant that I
Will make with my people, nigh
To them I shall be, e'en within
By my spirit, he from sin
Will them cleanse and will too forgive
In my presence they shall live
I will put my laws in their minds
[And] Wrote on their hearts each shall find
And I to them a God shall be
They shall be my people, see
Not always knowing me through man
But direct approach they can
To me, for they all show know me
From least to great, serve me free
I will be to them merciful
To their unrighteousness all
And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will forgive, not them heed
I will remember them no more
Put them from my sight for sure
Lord, by your grace we sanctified* (*saint-ified)
Way to life you do provide
Through salvation in your Son, He
Jesus, Saviour of world be
