THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS SALVATION!

Brethren, We Have Met To Worship #15 87.87D)
Thanks
to God for His salvation,
Sprung
from free, electing love!
Hope is
built on this foundation -
God
chose us in sov'reign love.
He predestinated sinners
To be
conformed to His Son;
Lift
your voices, chosen sinners,
Give
all praise to God alone!
Thanks
to Christ for full redemption!
God the
Son, the Lamb of God,
By His
blood purchased salvation,
Paying
all our debt to God.
Jesus
satisfied God's justice,
And He
purged away our sins.
Now
before our God we're righteous,
Freed
from sin and all its stains!
Thanks
to God the Holy Spirit,
(Irresistible
His call!)
We were
dead, but did not know it,
Lost
and ruined by Adam's fall,
When
the Spirit came in power,
Gave us
life in Christ and faith!
In that blessed, saving hour
He delivered us from death!
