How sovereign is the love of God

by Gospel Mag·1814·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Eph 2:8; 1 John 4:10

1

How sovereign is the love of God
To Israel's favoured race!
Paid is the mighty debt they owed;
Salvation is of grace.

2

His love, without beginning, knew
Each chosen sinner's case;
And sent his equal Son to show
Salvation is of grace.

3

Immanuel had not bled and died,
Nor suffered in our place,
But for this truth (O sound it wide!),
Salvation is of grace.

4

We had not known and loved the Son,
Nor sung his worthy praise,
But that himself the work begun;
Salvation is of grace.
