Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #496 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you,
for that could never be;
my heart would still refuse you,
had you not chosen me.
You took the sin that stained me,
you cleansed me, made me new;
of old you have ordained me,
that I should live in you.
2 Unless your grace had called me
and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind.
My heart knows none above you;
for your rich grace I thirst.
I know that if I love you,
you must have loved me first.
