The Love of God to his People. Jer. 31. 3; Ps. 3. 8

1 Salvation! O my soul, rejoice;
  Salvation is of God;
  He speaks, and that almighty voice
  Proclaims his grace abroad.

2 How wonderful, how grand the plan!
  All Deity’s engaged
  To rescue rebel, ruined man
  From Satan’s power and rage.

3 The Father loved us ere we fell,
  And will for ever love;
  Nor shall the powers of earth or hell
  His love from Zion move.

4 ’Twas love that moved him to ordain
  A Surety just and good;
  And on his heart inscribe the name
  Of all for whom he stood.

5 Nor is the Surety short of love;
  He loves beyond degree;
  No less than love divine could move
  The Lord to die for me.

6 And O what love the Spirit shows!
  When Jesus he reveals
  To men oppressed with sin and woes,
  He all their sorrows heals.

7 The Three-in-One and One-in-Three,
  In love for ever rest;
  And Zion shall in glory be,
  And with his love be blessed.
