'Twas fixt in God’s eternal mind,
When his dear sons should mercy find :
From everlasting he decreed,
When ev’ry good should be convey’d.
Determin’d was the manner, how
We should be brought the Lord to know;
Yea, he decreed the very place,
Where he would call us by his grace.
Vast were the settlements of grace
On millions of the human race;
And ev’ry favor richly given,
Flows from the high decrees of heaven.
In ev’ry mercy, full and free,
Th’ appointing God I wish to see;
To see how grace, free grace has reign’d
In ev’ry blessing he ordain’d.
Yes, dearest Lord, ’tis my desire
Thy wise appointments to admire,
And trace the footsteps of my God
Thro’ ev’ry part of Zion’s road.
