PH 1:3{Blessed with all blessings, how rich is thy portion,
Secured forever to thee in the Son,
Not temporal and fleeting, but rich and eternal,
Fruit of the place which for thee He has won.
Chosen in Christ e'er the world had foundation,
A child of the Father predestined to be;
Now brought into blessing, to taste in its fullness
The depth of that love which is flowing to thee.
Holy and blameless, ah! this is thy calling
Before Him in love, His joy and delight,
For in the Beloved He ever beholds thee
All perfect and comely, and meet for His sight.
Accepted in Him, oh, the grace and the glory,
May praises forever unhinderedly flow
To God and the Father of Him who redeem'd thee,
And caused thee His riches of grace thus to know.
Seated together in Christ, in the heavenlies,
How perfect the standing He's given to thee,
His place, and His love thy present blest portion,
And the Earnest of glory where soon thou shalt be.
With all His redeem'd ones through ages eternal,
To the praise of His glory forever to be,
When He shows out in fullness, His grace and His kindness:
Which He has made known through His SON unto thee.
