God To The End Will Carry On

(Tune: Jesus, and Shall It Ever Be? #400   LM)

 

Did God from everlasting move

      To-ward me in eternal love?

      That love, unchangeable, the same

      Remains, whate’er my state or frame.

 

 

Has grace upon this sinner shone?

                              Then grace will bring me safely home.

                              God to the end will carry on

                              The work which in me He begun.

 

 

Did Jesus die, my Substitute?

                              He will not leave me destitute

                              Of any grace or blessedness

                              Or fail to bring me into bliss.

 

 

If I am by God’s Spirit born,

                              I shall into His Kingdom come.

                              `Midst all my sins, and guilt, and woe

      The Spirit will not let me go.

 

 

My soul through countless changes goes.

                              God’s love no variation knows!

                              My God will perfectly perform

                              His work in me, a sinful worm.

 

 

My soul into Christ’s arms I cast

                              And trust I shall be saved at last.

                              Saved by God’s free and sov’reign grace

                              Through Jesus’ blood and righteousness!
