Rejoicing in God's Decrees
Author: Ryland Appears in 164 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Sovereign Ruler of the Skies Lyrics: 1 Sovereign Ruler of the skies,
Ever gracious, ever wise;
All my times are in thy hand,
All events at thy command.
2 His decree who formed the earth
Fixed my first and second birth;
Parents, native place, and time,
All appointed were by him.
3 He that formed me in the womb,
He shall guide me to the tomb:
All my times shall ever be
Ordered by his wise decree.
4 [Times of sickness; times of health;
Times of penury and wealth;
Times of trial and of grief;
Times of triumph and relief;
5 Times the tempter’s power to prove;
Times to taste the Saviour’s love;
All must come, and last, and end,
As shall please my heavenly Friend.]
6 Plagues and deaths around me fly;
Till he bids, I cannot die;
Not a single shaft can hit,
Till the God of love sees fit.

The Elect Ransomed
Author: Adams Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Our Jesus loves his dear elect Lyrics: 1 Our Jesus loves his dear elect;
With glory they shall all be decked
Before his Father’s face.
Not one of them for whom he bled,
But shall with joy behold their Head,
In heaven their dwelling-place.
2 [They are the travail of his soul;
His sweetest thoughts on them did roll
From all eternity.
And, as the jewels of his crown,
He’ll give them honour, peace, renown,
And full felicity.]
3 Their sins upon him all were laid,
And he the dreadful debt has paid,
(A debt no more to pay;)
Their Surety in their law-place stood,
Appeased stern Justice with his blood,
And bore their sins away.
The Elect Ransomed
Election Eternal
Author: Toplady Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: How happy are we, our election who see Lyrics: 1 How happy are we our election who see,
And venture, O Lord, for salvation on thee!
In Jesus approvèd, eternally loved,
Upheld by his power, we cannot be moved.
2 [’Tis sweet to recline on the bosom divine,
And experience the comforts peculiar to thine;
While, born from above, and upheld by thy love,
With singing and triumph to Zion we move!]
3 Our seeking thy face was all of thy grace;
Thy mercy demands and shall have all the praise.
No sinner can be beforehand with thee;
Thy grace is eternal, almighty, and free!
4 Our Saviour and Friend, his love shall extend;
It knew no beginning, and never shall end!
Whom once he receives, his Spirit ne’er leaves,
Nor ever repents of the grace that he gives.
5 [This proof we would give that thee we receive,
Thou art precious alone to the souls that believe;
Be precious to us; all beside is as dross,
Compared with thy love and the blood of thy cross.]
6 [Through mercy we taste the invisible feast,
The bread of the kingdom, the wine of the blest!
Who grants us to know his drawings below
Will endless salvation and glory bestow.]
Election Eternal
Sons we are, through God's election
Meter: 8.7.4 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees Lyrics: 1 Sons we are, through God’s election,
Who in Jesus Christ believe;
By eternal destination,
Saving grace we here receive;
Our Redeemer
Does both grace and glory give.
2 Every soul of man, by sinning,
Merits everlasting pain;
But thy love, without beginning,
Formed and fixed salvation’s plan.
Countless millions
Shall in life through Jesus reign.
3 [Pause, my soul! adore and wonder!
Ask, “O why such love to me?”
Grace has put me in the number
Of the Saviour’s family;
Hallelujah!
Thanks, Eternal Love, to thee!]
4 These are springs of consolation,
To converted sons of grace;
Finished, free, and full salvation
Shining in the Saviour’s face!
Free grace only
Suits the wretched sinner’s case.
5 When in that blest habitation,
Which my God for me ordained;
When in glory’s full possession,
I with saints and angels stand;
Free grace only
Shall resound through Canaan’s land! Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-7
Sons we are, through God's election
Divine Providence
Author: Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Thrice comfortable hope Lyrics: 1 Thrice comfortable hope
That calms my stormy breast;
My Father’s hand prepares the cup,
And what he wills is best.
2 My fearful heart he reads;
Secures my soul from harms;
While underneath his mercy spreads
Its everlasting arms.
3 His skill infallible,
His providential grace,
His power and truth, that never fail,
Shall order all my ways.
4 [The fictious power of chance
And fortune I defy;
My life’s minutest circumstance
Is subject to his eye.]
5 O might I doubt no more,
But in his pleasure rest;
Whose wisdom, love, and truth, and power,
Engage to make me blest!
Divine Providence
Election
Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Election is a truth divine Lyrics: 1 Election is a truth divine,
As absolute as free;
Works ne’er can make the blessing mine;
’Tis God’s own wise decree.
2 Before Jehovah built the skies,
Or earth, or seas, or sun,
He chose a people for his praise,
And gave them to his Son.
3 Eternal was the choice of God,
A sovereign act indeed;
And Jesus, the incarnate Word,
Secures the chosen seed.
4 He loved and chose because he would;
Nor did his choice depend
On sinners’ work, or bad or good,
But on his sovereign mind.
5 Nor law, nor death, nor hell, nor sin,
Can alter his decree;
The elect eternal life shall win,
And all God’s glory see.
6 His counsel stands for ever sure,
Immortal and divine;
And justice, mercy, truth, and power,
Unite to make it mine. Scripture: Ephesians 1:4-9
Election
Ye Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice;
'Tis comely that with joyful voice
God's saints His Name should praise.
With harp and hymn of gladness sing,
Your gift of sweetest music bring,
To Him a new song raise.
2 For upright is Jehovah's word,
And all the doings of the Lord
In justice have their birth.
In judgment and in deeds of right
The Lord forever takes delight,
With goodness fills the earth.
3 Jehovah speaks, the heavens appear;
He breathes, and, lo, each shining sphere
In splendor stands arrayed.
He rolls the waters heap on heap,
He stores away the mighty deep
In garners for it made.
4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear,
Let all that dwell both far and near
In awe before Him stand;
For lo, He spake and it was done,
And all, with sovereign power begun,
Stood fast at His command.
5 He makes the nations’ counsels vain,
The plans the peoples would maintain
Are thwarted by His hand.
Jehovah’s counsel stands secure,
His purposes of heart endure,
Forevermore they stand.
6 O truly is the nation blest
Whose God, before the world confessed,
Jehovah is alone;
And blest the people is whom He
Has made His heritage to be,
And chosen for His own. Scripture: Psalm 33 Used With Tune: FRANCES
Ye Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice
