A Child of Jehovah A subject of grace

A Child of Jehovah,
A subject of grace,
I'm of the seed royal,
a dignified race,
An heir of salvation,
redeemed with blood,
I'll own my relation,
my Father is God!

He loved me of old,
and he loveth me still
Before the creation,
he gave me by will,
A portion worth more
than the Indes of gold,
Which can not be wasted,
nor mortgaged nor sold.

He gave me a Surety,
a covenant Head
To live in my name,
and to die in my stead,
He gave me a righteousness
wholly divine,
And viewed all the merits
of Jesus as mine.

He gave a Perceptor infallibly wise,
And treasures of grace
to be send in supplies;
Yea, all that I ask
for my Father hath given.
To help me on earth,
and to crown me in heav'n.

He gave me a will
to accept what he gave,
Though I was averse
to his purpose to save;
He wrote in his will
my repentance and faith,
And all my enjoyments
for life and for death.

My trails and sorrows,
my comforts and cares
The spirit of prayer
and the answer of prayers
The steps that I tread,
and the station I fill,
My Father determined
and wrote in his will.

My cross and my crown
are both willed by my God,
He swore to his will,
and then sealed it with blood.
'Tis proved by the Spirit,
the witness within,
'Tis mine to inherit, I'll glory begin.
