WHO shall condemn to endless flames The chosen people of our God, Since in the book of life their names Are written out in Jesus’ blood?
He, for the sins of His elect, Has a complete atonement made; And justice never shall expect That the same debt should twice be paid.
Shall tribulation or distress, Or famine, peril, or the sword, Or persecution, nakedness, Separate us from Christ the Lord?
Not death, nor life, nor height, nor depth, Nor powers below, nor powers above, Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall change His purposes of love.
His sovereign mercy knows no end, His faithfulness shall still endure; And those who on His Word depend Shall find His Word for ever sure.
Benjamin Beddome, 1717-95
