| I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure. … Yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. (Isa. 46:9‑11) |
| Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. (2 Tim. 1:9) |
God in Thee His love unfolding,
Shows how vast, how rich His grace;
Blest our lot, with joy beholding
All His glory in Thy face;
Oh! the mercy which has blessed us,
Purposed thus ere time began,
Mercy which in Thee has kept us,
Where His blessed race He ran. |
