Sons we are through God's election
Who in Jesus Christ alone
By eternal destination
Sov'regin grace we here receive
|: Lord thy mercy, :|
Does both grace and glory give
Ev'ry fallen soul by sinning
Merits everlasting pain
But thy love, without beginning
Has restored thy sons again
Countless Millions, :|
Shall in life through Jesus reign
Pause, my soul, adore and wonder
Ask, O why such love for me?
Grace has put me in the number
Of the Saviour's family
|: Hallelujah, :|
Thanks, eternal thanks to thee!
Since that love had no beginning
And shall never, never cease
Keep, O keep me, Lord from sinning
Guide me in the way of peace!
|: Make me walk in, :|
All the paths of holiness
When I quit this feeble mansion
And my soul returns to thee,
Let the pow'r of thy ascension
Manifest itself in me
|: Through thy Spirit, :|
Give the final victory!
When the angel sounds the trumpet
When my soul and body join
When my Saviour comes to judgment
Bright in majesty divine
|: Let me triumph, :|
In thy righteousness as mine.
When in that blest habitation
Which my God has fore-ordained
When, in glory's full possession
I with saints and angels stand
|: Free grace only, :|
Shall resound in heav'n's land
