Text:To Him that chose us first

LXXVI. To Him that chose us first

1 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.

2 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.

3 Let ev'ry Saint above,
And Angel round the Throne,
For ever bless and love
The sacred Three in One;
Thus Heav'n shall raise
His Honours high,
When Earth and Time
Grow old and die.
