WHERE God begins His gracious work, That work He will complete, For round the objects of His love, All power and mercy meet.
Mortals may tire of all their aims, And fail in their intent; God is above the power of change, He never can repent.
Each object of His love is sure To reach the heavenly goal; For neither sin nor Satan can Destroy the blood-washed soul.
Satan may vex; and unbelief Believers may annoy; But they will conquer, just as sure As Jesus reigns in joy.
The precious blood of God’s dear Son Shall not be spilled in vain; The soul in Christ believing, must With Christ for ever reign.
Albert Midlane, 1825-1909
