| 1 | The Father, from eternity, | Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 1:6; Ephesians 5:25-32; 2 Timothy 1:12; Romans 8:38-39; Colossians 1:11; Acts 11:23; 1 Peter 2:9 |
| Chose us, O Jesus Christ, in Thee, |
| In Thee, His well-belovèd: |
| And we, as given to Thee—Thy bride, |
| In Thee, Lord Jesus, can confide: |
| Thy love remains unmovèd. |
| From Thee daily |
| Strength receiving—to Thee cleaving, |
| Blessèd Jesus! |
| May we all show forth Thy praises. |
|
| 2 | Before the world we'd make our boast, | Acts 3:15; 1 Corinthians 2:8; Hebrews 10:37; Revelation 22:4; Revelation 5:13 |
| That Thou, in whom is all our trust, |
| Art Lord of life and glory; |
| And soon Thou'lt bring us to that place |
| Where we shall see Thee face to face, |
| And, glorified, adore Thee. |
| Amen! Be then |
| Praise and blessing—never ceasing |
| To Thee given |
| Here, and when we come to heaven. |
