PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS ELECTION

Don Fortner

(Tune: O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus #61 87.87.D))

Praise the Lord for His election,

Unconditional and free,

Fountain of all covenant blessings

From our God the sacred Three.

Refrain:

Freely chosen to salvation,

For the glory of God’s grace,

Saved without works or conditions,

God alone shall have our praise.

By the Father we were chosen,

Through the Spirit sanctified,

Unto Jesus’ blood atonement,

By which we were justified.

God of sovereign, free election,

We will praise You ever more!

Your decree and sovereign purpose

Give us hope both strong and sure.

Neither sin, nor hell can alter

Your immutable decree:

All whom God has loved and chosen

Shall with God in glory be!
