Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #III.39 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8.4.4.4.4 First Line: To him that chose us first Lyrics:
To him that chose us first,
Before the world began;
To him that bore the curse
To save rebellious man;
To him that formed
Our hearts anew
Is endless praise
And glory due.
The Father's love shall run
Through our immortal songs;
We bring to God the Son
Hosannahs 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 heav'n shall raise
His honors high,
When earth and time
Grow old and die.
