They're eternally loved, Eternally saved, Though hell may oppose them. 32 Is God of one mind? Then my soul is secure ; If his love never alter Salvation is sure; If God chose his people In Christ his own Son, Salvation is certain Through what he has done. 33 All those for whom Jesus The God-man was sent In time shall believe And in time shall repent; Because they are sons God the Spirit is given, But to fit them for heaven. 34 Tis not man's repenting, 'Tis not man's believing, That makes them God's people; Those God has not chosen Will never chuse him; And all but the chosen Will die in their sin. 35 Who art thou, vain man, That wilt dare to complain? Who ever sought Jesus And sought him in vain? "Tis Jesus seeks first, And they know his sweet voice; And when he has found them Then Christ is their choice. 36 All others will never Seek Jesus at all; All but the redeem'd Will lie dead in the fall; But those Christ has died for But they never seek him 37 Then all is of grace From the first to the last; Not my hold of Jesus, But 'tis he holds me fast. He bought my soul dearly, Then all my salvation⠀⠀ 38 All praise to that God Who has made me to see Salvation completed On Calvary's tree, Chose out by the Father, I am taught by the Spirit 39. Then let who will cavil, And say, 'Tis not so These truths I'll support, God's word is my standard, For I am exactly Agreed with Saint Paul. 40 Then read Paul's Epistles, You rotten Arminian, You'll find not one passage Not one, I defy you To point it to me; I glory with Paul That salvation is free. 41 When you've read these lines, Then read them again, Then call upon me If you And my errors explain; Come, and point out the place; You shall talk of free will And I'll talk of free grace. 42 You'l say you have no wish Well still, though we differ, I would only say this, And I need say no more,. If we are both right We both came by the Door. 43 But if it turns out You That you climb'd o'er the wall, build very high, may But your building must fall: No other foundation Will stand the law's shock, But Christ as my Surety, But Christ as my Rock. 44 I will now take my leave, With this wish from my heart, That in Christ's atonement You may share a part; Then your good works and merits, Proud nature's vain bubble, These all will be burnt up, As wood, bay, and stubble. Acrostic. DEAR Jesus, smile on this my feeble aim, Salvation Complete. SALVATION then is finish'd and complete, For ever be ador'd his precious name O look, poor sinner, look to Calv'ry's tree: Sabbath Morning. 1 I'll go unto the house of pray'r; Who knows but Jesus may be there He knows I long to see his face, In meeting house or steeple. 3 But ah! I cannot like the place Where more is made of works than grace, 'Tis poor Arminian leaven: I want to hear of Christ the Way; 4 Where Christ is preach'd I would be found, To hear redemption's work complete, - Eternal life for all the sheep, All settled on the tree. 5 'Tis sweet to hear of love divine, To know salvation's work is done, 6 Lord, send me to some place to-day For all God's royal chosen seed, |
