How Vast the Benefits Divine

How vast the be­ne­fits di­vine which we in Christ pos­sess!

We are re­deemed from guilt and shame and called to ho­li­ness.

But not for works which we have done

or shall here­af­ter do

Hath God de­creed on sin­ful men sal­va­tion to be­stow.

The glo­ry

Lord

from first to last

is due to Thee alone;

Aught to our­selves we dare not take

or rob Thee of Thy crown.

Our glo­ri­ous Su­re­ty un­der­took to sa­tis­fy for man

And grace was giv­en us in Him be­fore the world be­gan.

This is Thy will

that in Thy love we ev­er should abide;

That earth and hell should not pre­vail to turn Thy Word aside.

Not one of all the chos­en race but shall to Heav’n at­tain

Partake on earth the pur­posed grace and then with Je­sus reign.
