Election Sovereign and Free

Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #75 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold the potter and the clay Lyrics: 1 Behold the potter and the clay; He forms his vessels as he please; Such is our God, and such are we, The subjects of his high decrees. 2 [Does not the workman’s power extend O’er all the mass, which part to choose, And mould it for a nobler end, And which to leave for viler use?] 3 May not the sovereign Lord on high Dispense his favours as he will? Choose some to life, while others die, And yet be just and gracious still? 4 [What if, to make his terror known, He let his patience long endure, Suffering vile rebels to go on, And seal their own destruction sure?] 5 [What if he mean to show his grace, And his electing love employs, To mark out some of mortal race, And form them fit for heavenly joys?] 6 Shall man reply against his Lord, And call his Maker’s ways unjust, The thunder of whose dreadful word Can crush a thousand worlds to dust? 7 But O, my soul, if truths so bright Should dazzle and confound thy sight, Yet still his written will obey, And wait the great decisive day. 8 Then shall he make his justice known, And the whole world before his throne, With joy or terror shall confess The glory of his righteousness.
