"All the borders round about, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth (Heb. terror חֵת Cheth), before all that went in at the gate of his city" (Genesis 23:17,18). "Thy Word is very pure... The righteousness of Thy testimonies is everlasting" (Psalm 119:144). "There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD" (Proverbs 21:30). "Be ye transformed... that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:2).
The
borders round about the land
To
bury Sarah at her death
Were
then made sure to always stand
Before
the children born of Heth.
A
testimony without error,
Which
henceforth Heth could not annul
(In
view of this: his name means "terror"),
Depicts
God's promise to our soul.
God's
everlasting oath is made,
And
every word of God is pure.
We
have no cause to be afraid:
Salvation's
borders are made sure!
O
Lord, how perfect is Your will
That
robbed the terror from the grave
And
proves death's territory still
Cannot
defeat the souls You save!
