P. 34
ON FRICK GRACK.
The Father, Son, and Spirit formed
The everlasting plan.
3 O may this Bible-truth inspire
My heart with purest bliss,
And land my soul in mansions where
My chosen Jesus is.
19 L. M.
Electing grace, or saints beloved in Christ.
1 | BSUS, we bless thy Father’s name,
Thy God and ours are both the same;
What heavenly blessings from his throne,
Flow down to sinners through his Son !
2 ‘Christ be my first elect,’ he said;
Then chose our souls in Christ our head,
Before he gave the mountains birth,
Or laid foundations for the earth.
3 Thus did eternal love begin
To raise us up from death and sin;
Our characters were then decreed,
* Blameless in love, a holy «eed.’
4 Predestinated to be sons,
Born by degrees, but chose at once;
A new, regenerated race,
To praise the glory of his grace.
5 With Christ, our L,ord, we share our part
In the affections of his heart;
Nor shall our souls be thence removed
Till he forgets his first beloved.
