HYMN 202. The Test to the Covenant.

All people, &c.

Deut. 26.16.

THis day the Lord commandeth thee
Obedient to his Laws to be,
Keep them therefore in every part;
With all thy soul and all thy heart.
Thou hast avoucht the Lord this day
To be thy God: To keep his way,
His Statutes, Laws, and Judgments choice,
And still to hearken to his voice.

And God this day avoucheth thee
His own peculiar stock to be,
As his most gracious promise stands
That thou shouldst keep all his commands.
To Israel's God be praise therefore
From first to last for evermore,
And let all faithfull people then
Say cheerfully, Amen, Amen.
