Chosen to Salvation. Rom. 11. 5; 2 Thess. 2. 13

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.
