The Consequences of Election

Verse 1

Who shall condemn to endless flames The chosen people of our God; Since in the book of life their names Are fairly writ in Jesu's blood.

Verse 2

He, for the sins of his elect, hath a complete atonement made: Stern Justice views without defect The work he wrought, the price he paid.

Verse 3

Not tribulation, nakedness, The famine, peril, or the sword; Not persecution, or distress, Can separate from Christ the Lord.

Verse 4

Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height, Nor powers below, nor powers above; Not present things, nor things to come, Can change his purposes of love.

Verse 5

His sovereign mercy knows no end, His faithfulness shall still endure: And those who on his truth depend, Shall find his word for ever sure.
