Before the voice of Heaven spoke, before the earth was framed,
Within the mighty heart of God were we, His loved ones, named.
That in the pleasure of His will as He alone had planned,
We might thro' Him be full redeemed and in His presence stand.
So God within His kingdom has reserved for us a place,
That we might praise the glory of His rich, abundant grace.
Forgiven by the Saviour's grace, and ransomed by His love,
With wonder we behold the will of Him who reigns above
That someday, in a mighty choir may all creation sing
And worship with a swelling sound their great, eternal King.
So heavens' beings shall arise and men from ev'ry place
To praise the matchless glory of His rich, abundant grace.
O Spirit of immortal truth, interpreter divine,
Salvation's holy evidence, redemption's sacred sign.
Renew our cold and sinful hearts, our inner zeal inspire;
Thou token of eternal hope, descend in holy fire!
So guide us in the truth of God until we see His face
And praise Him for the glory of His rich, abundant grace.
