the consolation of election
69 8.7.4. Gospel Mag., 1777 The Consolation of Election. Eph. 1. 3-7; Deut. 7. 7 1 Sons we are, through God’s election, Who in Jesus Christ believe; By eternal destination, Saving grace we here receive; Our Redeemer Does both grace and glory give. 2 Every soul of man, by sinning, Merits everlasting pain; But thy love, without beginning, Formed and fixed salvation’s plan. Countless millions Shall in life through Jesus reign. 3 [Pause, my soul! adore and wonder! Ask, “O why such love to me?” Grace has put me in the number Of the Saviour’s family; Hallelujah! Thanks, Eternal Love, to thee!] 4 These are springs of consolation, To converted sons of grace; Finished, free, and full salvation Shining in the Saviour’s face! Free grace only Suits the wretched sinner’s case. 5 When in that blest habitation, Which my God for me ordained; When in glory’s full possession, I with saints and angels stand; Free grace only Shall resound through Canaan’s land! "[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: [2] Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. [3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: [4] 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: [5] Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, [6] To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. [7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" Ephesians 1:1-7 http://www.gracegems.org/C/gadsby1.htm
