In Jesus Himself (the Father’s delight),
 
The saints, without blame, appear in God’s sight;
 
And while He in Jesus our souls shall approve,
 
So long shall the Father continue His love.
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.” (Ephesians 1:4)
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6)

In Jesus, free grace all blessings secures;
 
We know and rejoice that all things are ours;
 
And God from His purpose will never remove,
 
But love us, and bless us, and "rest in His love."
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3)
“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours.” (1 Corinthians 3:21)
“According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Ephesians 3:11)
