The Elect Ransomed. Isa. 53. 6, 7; 2 Cor. 5. 21
1
Our Jesus loves his dear elect;
 
With glory they shall all be decked
 
Before his Father’s face.
 
Not one of them for whom he bled,
 
But shall with joy behold their Head,
 
In heaven their dwelling-place.
2
[They are the travail of his soul;
 
His sweetest thoughts on them did roll
 
From all eternity.
 
And, as the jewels of his crown,
 
He’ll give them honour, peace, renown,
 
And full felicity.]
3
Their sins upon him all were laid,
 
And he the dreadful debt has paid,
 
(A debt no more to pay;)
 
Their Surety in their law-place stood,
 
Appeased stern Justice with his blood,
 
And bore their sins away.
