John 15:16

• [Joh 15:16] My Lord, I Did Not Choose You

  My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. You took the sin that stained me, You cleansed me, made me new; Of old You have ordained me, That I should live in You. Unless Your grace had called me And taught my op’ning mind, The world would have enthralled me, To heav’nly glories blind. My heart knows none above You; For Your rich grace I thirst; I know that if I love You, You must have loved me first.

• [Joh 15:16] ’tis Not That I Did Choose Thee

  ’Tis not that I did choose Thee, For Lord, that could not be; This heart would still refuse Thee, Hadst Thou not chosen me. Thou from the sin that stained me Hast cleansed and set me free; Of old Thou hast ordained me, That I should live to Thee. ’Twas sov’reign mercy called me And taught my op’ning mind; The world had else enthralled me, To heav’nly glories blind. My heart owns none before Thee, For Thy rich grace I thirst; This knowing, if I love Thee, Thou must have loved me first.

John 15:19

• [Joh 15:19] Chosen Seed And Zion’s Children

  Chosen seed and Zion’s children, Ransomed from eternal wrath, Traveling to the heav’nly Canaan On a rough and thorny path; Church of God, in Christ elected, Thou to God art reconciled, But on earth thou art a stranger, Persecuted and reviled. Still rejoice amid thy trials, Nor regard thy lot amiss; For the kind and loving Savior Is the source of all thy bliss; May He ever be thy portion, He Who gave thee life and breath: In His keeping fear no evil Now or in the hour of death. Pleasantly thy lines have fallen Underneath the tree of life: For the Lord is thy salvation, And thy shield in all thy strife: Here the timid bird finds shelter, Here the swallow finds a nest; Trembling fugitive a refuge, And the weary pilgrim rest. Faith and love are the conditions; All on faith and love depends; Love of law is the fulfillment, Faith God’s mercy apprehends; Who hath faith shall see salvation, Who hath love shall life obtain. May, O Lord, Thy love possess us, And Thy Spirit in us reign. And upon this blest foundation, Lord, our Lord and Savior King, May Thy Spirit e’er unite us, To it may we ever cling. May we members of one body, Grow into a perfect whole; Grant, O Lord, that in Thy people, There may be one heart and soul.
