1 Our God has made his covenant new the Lord himself has spoken not like the covenant made before which human sin had broken. He took his people by the hand and led them through the desert land by steadfast love and goodness. 2 But now God sets his law within on human hearts he writes it; the people God has made his own, one holy church, recites it. So all alike their God will know from least to greatest, high and low, by steadfast love and goodness. 3 The Lord will count their sins no more their guilt shall be forgiven; this promise comes from God who made the sun, and earth, and heaven: and Christ who brings us peace with God has sealed this covenant with his blood in steadfast love and goodness.
