a covenant made,
That He would bring no more
A flood of water o'er the earth,
As He had done before.

The nations now should prove His love,
His truth and power divine;
His attributes o'er all the earth,
With glory bright do shine.

His mercy hath no bound but truth,
And all His works do prove,
Unto the sons of men abroad,
His constant, perfect love.

He set the beauteous Bow on high
With many colours bright,
To show His covenant with men,
Was faithful, gracious, right.

It hung in heaven, upheld by God,
And arch'd the distant gloom,
And bent on either side to earth,
In bright and graceful form.

This covenant Jehovah keeps,
Forever faithful, true;
For when the rains are o'er, then high
The rainbow comes in view.

Whene'er we gaze upon its form,
And note its colours fair;
Our hearts should be inspired toward God,
With love and praise and prayer.

He gives the sun to warm the earth;
He sends the healthful shower,
And saves us always, through His grace,
By His almighty power.

THE END.
