Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #428 (2018) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 'Tis not that I did choose thee,
for, Lord, that could not be;
this heart would still refuse thee,
hadst thou not chosen me.
Thou from the sin that stained me
hast cleansed and set me free;
of old thou hast ordained me,
that I should live to thee.
2 'Twas sov'reign mercy called me
and taught my op'ning mind;
the world had else enthralled me,
to heav'nly glories blind.
My heart owns none before thee,
for thy rich grace I thirst;
this knowing, if I love thee,
thou must have loved me first. Topics: Election; God Sovereignty of ; Love For Christ Scripture: John 15:16 Languages: English Tune Title: CALCUTTA
