Election-Tis a Word Divine

(Tune: #52 – Majestic Sweetness -- CM)

 

1.      Election!” — ‘Tis a word divine!

For, Lord, I plainly see,

Had not Thy choice preceded mine,

I ne’er had chosen Thee.

 

2.      For perseverance, strength I’ve none;

But on this I depend—

That Jesus, having loved His own,

Will love them to the end.

 

3.      Empty and bare, I come to Thee

For righteousness divine;

O may Thy matchless merits be,

By imputation mine!
