C.M. J. Hart 52

Sons we are, through God’s election, Who in Jesus Christ believe; By eternal destination, Saving grace we here receive; Our Redeemer Does both grace and glory give. 2 Every soul of man, by sinning, Merits everlasting pain; But thy love, without beginning, Formed and fixed salvation’s plan. Countless millions Shall in life through Jesus reign.

3 [Pause, my soul! adore and wonder! Ask, “O why such love to me?” Grace has put me in the number Of the Saviour’s family; Hallelujah! Thanks, Eternal Love, to thee!]

4 These are springs of consolation, To converted sons of grace; Finished, free, and full salvation Shining in the Saviour’s face! Free grace only Suits the wretched sinner’s case.

5 When in that blest habitation, Which my God for me ordained; When in glory’s full possession, I with saints and angels stand; Free grace only Shall resound through Canaan’s land!

Divine Providence. Deut. 33. 27; Ps. 73. 24

Thrice comfortable hope That calms my stormy breast; My Father’s hand prepares the cup, And what he wills is best.

2 My fearful heart he reads; Secures my soul from harms; While underneath his mercy spreads Its everlasting arms.

3 His skill infallible, His providential grace, His power and truth, that never fail, Shall order all my ways.

4 [The fictious power of chance And fortune I defy; My life’s minutest circumstance Is subject to his eye.]

5 O might I doubt no more, But in his pleasure rest; Whose wisdom, love, and truth, and power, Engage to make me blest! CHARLES WESLEY 1707

Free Grace in Revealing Christ. Matt. 11. 25, 26

Jesus, the Man of constant grief, A mourner all his days; His spirit once rejoiced aloud, And turned his joy to praise:
