LXIII. The consequences of Election

1 Who shall condemn to endless flames
The chosen people of our God?
Since in the book of life their names
Are fairly writ in Jesu's blood.

2 He, for the sins of all the elect,
Hath a complete atonement made:
And justice never can expect
That the same debt should twice be paid.

3 Not tribulation, nakedness,
The famine, peril, or the sword;
Not persecution, or distress,
Can separate from Christ the Lord.

4 Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height,
Nor powers below, nor powers above;
Not present things, nor things to come,
Can change his purposes of love.

5 His sovereign mercy knows no end,
His faithfulness shall still endure:
And those who on his truth depend,
Shall find his word for ever sure.
