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.
