How Vast the Benefits Divine

Verse 1

How vast the benefits divine which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from sin and shame, and called to holiness. 'Tis not for works that we have done, these all to him we owe; but he of his electing love salvation doth bestow.

Verse 2

To thee, O Lord, alone is due all glory and renown; aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob thee of thy crown. Thou wast thyself our Surety in God's redemption plan; in thee his grace was given us, long ere the world began.

Verse 3

Safe in the arms of sov'ereign love we ever shall remain; nor shall the rage of earth or hell make thy sure counsel vain. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to heav'n attain; here they will share abounding grace, and there with Jesus reign.
