Acts 3: The sinful will of man

The sinful will of man
Without his own design
Subserves, if so our God ordain.
The holy will Divine:
Our God's almighty grace
O'errules the bounded ill,
To answer His great purposes,
And all His thoughts fulfil.

Of sinners He foretells
The wickedness foreknown,
Permits their act but not compels.
Their act is all their own.
Who can the wisdom sound
Of His eternal mind,
That makes my Saviour's mortal wound
The life of all mankind!
