Grace in Christ, before the World began

Verse 1

'Twas finsh'd, saith the faithful God, Before the world itself began: The ransom of a Saviour's blood, From everlasting, flow'd for man.

Verse 2

Ere Satan dar'd th' Eternal King; Ere Eden saw the morning sun; Ere Eve had felt the Serpent's sting; Thy perfect will, O God, was done.

Verse 3

Before that Adam disobey'd, Himself, and all his sons were thine: Those works, thy life thy death display'd, Confirm eternity's design.

Verse 4

Jesus from earth's foundation slain! Worthy art thou, thrice worthy, Lord! To ever live, and rule, and reign, By angels, and by men, ador'd.
