Sons we are, through God's election

Verse 1

Sons we are, through God’s election, Who in Jesus Christ believe; By eternal destination, Saving grace we here receive; Our Redeemer Does both grace and glory give.

Verse 2

Every soul of man, by sinning, Merits everlasting pain; But thy love, without beginning, Formed and fixed salvation’s plan. Countless millions Shall in life through Jesus reign.

Verse 3

[Pause, my soul! adore and wonder! Ask, “O why such love to me?” Grace has put me in the number Of the Saviour’s family; Hallelujah! Thanks, Eternal Love, to thee!]

Verse 4

These are springs of consolation, To converted sons of grace; Finished, free, and full salvation Shining in the Saviour’s face! Free grace only Suits the wretched sinner’s case.

Verse 5

When in that blest habitation, Which my God for me ordained; When in glory’s full possession, I with saints and angels stand; Free grace only Shall resound through Canaan’s land!
