    A hymn written by Joseph Irons (common meter):

    Amazing love! transcendant grace!
    Redemption's scheme displays;
    In God's predestinated race,
    To his eternal praise.

    His sons, by him, were all foreknown,
    And register'd above;
    Predestinated to a crown,
    By everlasting love.

    On this eternal, fix'd decree,
    All things in time depend;
    Salvation, perfect, full, and free,
    And glory without end.

    'Tis God's predestinating love
    Transforms the chosen race;
    Prepares the Church for joys above,
    And crowns triumphant grace.
