Chosen by God in ages past, Our God will never let us go; Salvation is assured fore'er; 'Tis such security we know. |
2 |
"I give to them eternal life, They shall not perish," is His word; "No one shall snatch them from Our hands," This is the promise of the Lord. |
3 |
Yet there's a word for God's own sons, Which is a warning from the Lord: For those not ready when He comes, "Worse punishment" and not "reward." |
4 |
Reward is not eternal life, It's based on how we run the race; It all depends on what we build, It's not a matter, here, of grace. |
5 |
'Tis for God's kingdom we press on, Like Moses, we are for the Lord; We suffer with God's people here And look away to the reward. |
6 |
Richer by far, reproach of Christ, Than Egypt's treasures, which are sin; By faith we leave Egyptian land, Avoiding next age discipline. |
7 |
Our soul gained for the kingdom's age — For this we lose our soul life here; If we lay down our soul life now, We'll save it for Christ's kingdom there. |
8 |
We all must learn to pay the price, Christ must be worked into our soul; 'Tis thus our soul is gained by Him, This is our aim and this our goal. |
