My soul consider this great thought:
The wondrous works, which God has wrought
His works from all eternity --
My God has done them all for me.
God's special love for all his own,
Directs the power of His throne,
Elect and precious to my God
All things predestined for my good.
Redeemed by blood, preserved by power
Unto that great appointed hour
When God in mercy came to me,
He gave me life and set me free.
My God has never, never failed:
His grace and power have prevailed.
My God: my soul, my life He holds
By Sovereign Grace within His fold.
And so my God I'll praise Thy name,
Exhalt Thy grace and spread Thy fame
Eternal sovereign love, and grace
Compel my heart to sing Thy praise.
Redeemed by Blood, preserved by power
Unto that great appointed hour
When God in mercy came to me:
He gave me life, and set me free. |
