Thou hast all in Christ elected, Not a soul of the whole Was by thee rejected. Father of our common Saviour, All thy grace might embrace, Might have once found favour. Give we to our Lord the glory; Lord, thy love, all may prove, May with us adore thee. For us all thy great salvation, Thou hast wrought, all hast bought By thy bloody passion. Partner of the sinful nature, Lord, thine eye, none pass'd by, No one fallen creature. Hail, thou all-alluring Spirit, All, would we follow thee, Might thy heaven inherit. To all flesh thy grace is given, All beneath feel thy breath Drawing them toward heaven. Thy long-suffering is salvation, Not to seal souls for hell, Not for man's damnation. God the Father thro' the Spirit Shews his Son, makes him known, And applies his merit. 27This hymn omitted from 2nd edn. (1756) and following. Page 58 Father, Son, and Spirit bless us, One and Three all agree, Three are One in Jesus. God is both the gift and giver, Let us praise his free-grace Now, henceforth, for ever. Paternal deity, Pure universal love, All praise we render thee For sending from above The glorious partner of thy throne, Thine only co-eternal Son. Jesus, the woman's seed, The covenant of peace, To bruise the serpent's head, To ransom us, and bless Thou to the Gentile world hast gave, Not to condemn the world, but save. The Lamb of God who takes The general sin away, Who no exception makes, But gives to each his day, On thee our common Lord we call, And bless thee, who hast died for all. Thou all the debt hast paid, For all a ransom given, For all atonement made, For all hast purchas'd heaven, And now thou art before the throne To plead what thou for all hast done. We glorify the Dove, Who peaceful tidings brings, And whispers God is love, And spreads for all his wings, And strives, since first the world began, With every fallen soul of man. Thee, Holy Ghost, we praise, Thy sweet attracting power 28This hymn omitted from 2nd edn. (1756) and following.
