36. Father, We Own Thy Sovereign Claim

8,8,6.
1
Father, we own Thy sovereign claim
 
And bless Thy Son’s most precious name,
 
Whom Thou for us hast given;
 
Who bore the curse to sinners due,
 
Quickened our ruined souls anew,
 
And made us heirs of heaven.
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (1 John 4:9)
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” (Galatians 3:13)
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.” (Ephesians 2:1)
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8:17)

’Tis by the Holy Ghost alone
 
That Christ, the Lord, is made our own,
 
The gift of grace divine:
 
But since to us, in His blest face,
 
There shines the glory of Thy grace,
 
We know that we are Thine.
“Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” (1 Corinthians 12:3)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6)
“For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.” (John 17:8)
“And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.” (John 17:10)

Oh, while we here together join,
 
Before the throne of grace divine,
 
Bow down a Father’s ear;
 
Our hearts have listened to Thy Word,
 
Thy name we praise with glad accord,
 
Reveal Thyself as near.
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
