Free Grace in Revealing Christ
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Jesus, the Man of constant grief Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Man of constant grief,
A mourner all his days;
His spirit once rejoiced aloud,
And turned his joy to praise:
2 “Father, I thank thy wondrous love,
That has revealed thy Son
To men unlearnèd; and to babes
Has made the gospel known.
3 “The mysteries of redeeming grace
Are hidden from the wise;
While pride and carnal reasonings join
To swell and blind their eyes.”
4 Thus does the Lord of heaven and earth
His great decrees fulfil,
And order all his works of grace
By his own sovereign will.
Free Grace in Revealing Christ
Election Sovereign and Free
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Behold the potter and the clay Lyrics: 1 Behold the potter and the clay;
He forms his vessels as he please;
Such is our God, and such are we,
The subjects of his high decrees.
2 [Does not the workman’s power extend
O’er all the mass, which part to choose,
And mould it for a nobler end,
And which to leave for viler use?]
3 May not the sovereign Lord on high
Dispense his favours as he will?
Choose some to life, while others die,
And yet be just and gracious still?
4 [What if, to make his terror known,
He let his patience long endure,
Suffering vile rebels to go on,
And seal their own destruction sure?]
5 [What if he mean to show his grace,
And his electing love employs,
To mark out some of mortal race,
And form them fit for heavenly joys?]
6 Shall man reply against his Lord,
And call his Maker’s ways unjust,
The thunder of whose dreadful word
Can crush a thousand worlds to dust?
7 But O, my soul, if truths so bright
Should dazzle and confound thy sight,
Yet still his written will obey,
And wait the great decisive day.
8 Then shall he make his justice known,
And the whole world before his throne,
With joy or terror shall confess
The glory of his righteousness.

Delight in God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: Decrees Of God First Line: Grant Lord, I may delight in thee Lyrics: 1 Grant Lord, I may delight in thee,
And on thy care depend;
To thee in ev'ry trouble flee,
My best, my only friend.
2 When all created streams are dry'd,
Thy fulness is the same;
May I with this be satisfy'd,
And glory in thy name!
3 Why should the soul a drop bemoan
Who has a fountain near,
A fountain which will ever run
With waters sweet and clear?
4 No good in creatures can be found,
But all is found in thee;
I must be blessed, and abound,
While thou art God to me.
5 O that I had a stronger faith
To look within the veil,
To credit what my Saviour saith,
Whose word can never vail!
6 O Lord, I cast my care on thee,
I triumph and adore;
Henceforth my great concern shall be
To love and please thee more. Scripture: Psalm 37:4

All things Decreed
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: There's not a sparrow nor a worm Lyrics: 1 There’s not a sparrow nor a worm
But’s found in God’s decrees;
He raises monarchs to their thrones,
And sinks them if he please.
2 If light attend the course I run,
’Tis he provides those rays;
And ’tis his hand that hides my sun,
If darkness cloud my days.
3 When he reveals the Book of Life,
O may I read my name
Among the chosen of his love,
The followers of the Lamb!

Election
Author: Hart Meter: 7.5 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Brethren, would you know your stay Lyrics: 1 Brethren, would you know your stay,
What it is supports you still?
Why, though tempted every day,
Yet you stand, and stand you will?
Long before our birth,
Nay, before Jehovah laid
The foundations of the earth,
We were chosen in our Head.
2 God’s election is the ground
Of our hope to persevere;
On this rock your building found,
And preserve your title clear.
Infidels may laugh;
Pharisees gainsay or rail;
Here’s your tenure (keep it safe) –
God’s elect can never fail!

All the elected train
Author: Burnham Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees Lyrics: 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.
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.
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.
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.
Scripture: Ephesians 1:4

Were sanctified in Christ above;
In oneness with his nature pure,
Joint-heirs with him for evermore.

Election in Christ
Author: Tucker Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Expand, my soul, arise and sing Lyrics: 1 Expand, my soul, arise and sing
The matchless grace of Zion’s King;
His love, as ancient as his name,
Let all thy powers aloud proclaim.
2 Chosen of old, of old approved,
In Christ eternally beloved;
Adopted too, and children made,
Ere sin its baleful poison spread.
3 Though sin and guilt infest them here,
In Christ they all complete appear;
The whole that justice e’er demands
Received full payment from his hands.
4 In him the Father never saw
The least transgression of his law;
Perfection, then, in him we view;
His saints in him are perfect too.
5 Then let our souls in him rejoice,
As favoured objects of his choice;
Redeemed, and saved by grace, we sing
Eternal praise to Christ our King.
