Election in Christ. Eph. 1. 5, 11; 2 Tim. 1. 9

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.
