All the elected train

Verse 1

All the elected train Were chosen in their Head, To all eternal good, Before the worlds were made; Chosen to know the Prince of Peace, And taste the riches of his grace.

Verse 2

Chosen to faith and hope, To purity and love, To all the life of God, To all the things above; Chosen to prove salvation sure; Chosen to reign for evermore.

Verse 3

Nothing but grace appears In this eternal choice; It charms the humble saint, And makes the soul rejoice; Its endless glories shine so bright, It makes obedience all delight.

Verse 4

Now, Lord, to us reveal The all-confirming grace; And may we all pursue The shining paths of peace; Run in the way to joys above, And ever sing electing love.
