SONS WE ARE, THROUGH GOD'S ELECTION
DON FORTNER
(Tune:
Love Divine #2 87.87.D)
Sons we
are, through God's election,
Who in
Jesus Christ believe;
By
eternal destination,
Saving
grace we now receive.
Our Redeemer, our Redeemer
Does
both grace and glory give!
Our Redeemer, our Redeemer
Does
both grace and glory give!
Every
soul of man, by sinning,
Merits
everlasting pain;
But
God's love, without beginning,
Formed
and fixed salvation's plan.
Chosen
sinners, (countless millions!),
Shall
with Christ forever reign!
Chosen
sinners, (countless millions!)
Shall
with Christ forever reign!
Pause,
my soul! Adore and wonder!
Ask,
"O why such love to me?"
Grace has put me in the number
Of the
Savior's family!
I will glory, I will glory
Only in
the Lord my God!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Glory,
praise, and thanks to God!
