1. How vast the benefits divine
which we in Christ possess!
We are redeemed from guilt and shame
and called to holiness.
But not for works which we have done,
or shall hereafter do,
Hath God decreed on sinful men
salvation to bestow.
2. The glory, Lord, from first to last,
is due to Thee alone;
Aught to ourselves we dare not take,
or rob Thee of Thy crown.
Our glorious Surety undertook
to satisfy for man,
And grace was given us in Him
before the world began.
3. This is Thy will, that in Thy love
we ever should abide;
That earth and hell should not prevail
to turn Thy Word aside.
Not one of all the chosen race
but shall to Heav’n attain,
Partake on earth the purposed grace
and then with Jesus reign.
