1
We praise Thee, glorious Father,
  As objects of Thy grace,
Who for Thine own heart’s pleasure
  Are now before Thy face:
Thy sons marked out for glory
  Known from eternity
With Christ Thy Well-beloved,
  Object supreme to Thee.
2
Who else but Thee, O Father,
  Could in Thine only Son
So bless us with Thy Spirit,
  And have us for Thine own?
Soon shall we be forever
  With Christ in glory; then
We’ll shine in His blest image
  Eternally, Amen!

Stanzas 2 and 3 have been added:

2. For holiness Thou chose us,

Ere earth was set in space,

Predestined us Thy glorious

Inheritance in grace;

Thou marked us out beforehand,

Chose us for sonship's sake;

Our full predestined portion,

When full-grown, we'll partake.

3. As Thou predestinated,

Thou called us to be graced;

Thy life divine imparted,

Our every sin erased.

Our pledge and seal's the Spirit,

Supplying boundlessly;

Thine ever, we inherit

Thy wealth eternally.
