Blessing of the New Covenant

Ye who know your sins forgiven,And are happy in the Lord.Have you read the gracious promise,Which is left upon record:I will sprinkle you with water,I will cleanse you from all sin:Sanctify and make you holy,I will dwell and reign within.

If you have obtained this treasure,Search and you shall surely findAll the Christian marks and graces,Planted, growing, in your mind.Perfect faith, and perfect patience,Perfect lowliness, and thenPerfect hope, and perfect meekness,Perfect love for God and man.

But be sure to gain the witness,Which abides both day and night;This your God has plainly promised,This is like a stream of light.While you keep the blessed witness,All is clear and calm within;God himself assures you by itThat your heart is cleansed from sin.
