The covenant that appears.

Speaking of Jesus Christ

That came down from heaven

And his life sacrificed.

Accompanying our salvation

As the less is blessed of the better

And without contradiction.

By which we draw nigh to God,

This is exciting news

That should be spread abroad.

All because of Jesus

Our surety of a better testament,

A more excellent ministry

Through a much better covenant.

On account of a better sacrifice,

Satisfying both earth and heaven

All because of Jesus Christ.

The covenant between God and us

And glory to Christ ascribes.

 

Christ died to save his people

Christ lives to make it possible

Christ’s return is inevitable

And his judgment is unavoidable.

 

Infinitely better God assures

Infinitely better His grace affords,

Through His mercy we are restored

By faith accept Christ, nothing more.
