43 A SONG OF GOD’S GRACE
| |||
| Refrain: | The glorious grace of God* is freely bestowed on us in the Belovèd. | ||
| 1 |
Blessèd are you, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,* for you have blest us in Christ Jesus with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. | ||
| 2 |
You chose us to be yours in Christ before the foundation of the world,* that we should be holy and blameless before you. | ||
| 3 |
In love you destined us to be your children, through Jesus Christ,* according to the purpose of your will, | ||
| 4 |
To the praise of your glorious grace,* which you freely bestowed on us in the Belovèd. | ||
| 5 |
In you, we have redemption through the blood of Christ,* the forgiveness of our sins, | ||
| 6 |
According to the riches of your grace,* which you have lavished upon us. | ||
| 7 |
You have made known to us, in all wisdom and insight,* the mystery of your will, | ||
| 8 |
According to your purpose which you set forth in Christ,* as a plan for the fullness of time, | ||
| 9 |
To unite all things in Christ,* things in heaven and things on earth. | ||
| |||
|
The glorious grace of God* is freely bestowed on us in the Belovèd. | |||
