Election is a truth Divine, As absolute as free; Works never can make the blessing mine; Tis God’s Own wise decree. Before Jehovah built the skies, Or earth, or sea, or sun, He chose a people for His praise, And gave them to His Son. Eternal was the choice of God, A SOVEREIGN act indeed; And Jesus the Incarnate Word; Secures the chosen seed. He loved and chose because He would; Nor did His choice depend On sinner’s work, or bad , or good, But on His SOVEREIGN mind. Nor law, nor death, nor hell, nor sin, Can alter His decree: The elect eternal life shall win, And all God’s Glory see. His Counsel stands forever sure Immortal and devine And justice, mercy, truth, and power Untie to make it mine.
