John 15: Thee we never could have chose

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Thee we never could have chose,
Dead in sins and trespasses:
But Thou hast redeem'd Thy foes,
Bought the universal peace,
That all our ransom'd race might prove
The sweetness of electing love.
