Saved by Grace. Titus 2. 11-14; Eph. 2. 5, 8

1 God is a Spirit, just and wise;
  His footsteps who can trace?
  His love, more ancient than the skies,
  Breaks forth in boundless grace.

2 In vast eternity he chose
  A people for his praise;
  And saves them from their guilt and woes,
  By his almighty grace.

3 Redeemed, with Jesus’ blood redeemed,
  His beauties called to trace,
  No angel can be more esteemed
  Than sinners saved by grace.

4 [Immortal love no change can know
  Though clouds surround his face;
  All Israel must to glory go,
  As trophies of his grace.]

5 [Satan and sin may vex the mind,
  And threaten with disgrace;
  But, after all, the saint shall find
  He’s saved, and saved by grace.]

6 The work begun is carried on,
  Nor hell can it deface;
  The whole elect with Christ are one
  And must be saved by grace.

7 Where Jesus is, there they must be,
  And view his lovely face;
  And sit to all eternity,
  In chanting forth his grace.
