Hymn 3:39 [To Him that chose us first]
by
The 2d, as the 148th Psalm.
To Him that chose us first
Before the world began,
To Him that bore the curse
To save rebellious man,
To Him that form’d
Our hearts anew,
Is endless praise
And glory due.
The Father’s love shall run
Thro’ our immortal songs,
We bring to God the Son
Hosannas on our tongues:
Our lips address
The Spirit’s Name
With equal praise,
And zeal the same.
Let every saint above
And angel round the throne,
For ever bless and love
The sacred Three in One:
Thus heaven shall raise
His honours high
When earth and time
Grow old and die.
