Election excludes boastingA
-
CorB
-
But few among the carnal wiseC
But few of noble raceD
Obtain the favor of thine eyesC
Almighty King of GraceD
-
He takes the men of meanest nameE
For sons and heirs of GodF
And thus he pours abundant shameE
On honorable bloodG
-
He calls the fool and makes him knowH
The myst'ries of his graceD
To bring aspiring wisdom lowH
And all its pride abaseD
-
Nature has all its glories lostI
When brought before his throneJ
No flesh shall in his presence boastK
But in the Lord aloneJ

Isaac Watts
