Church Of God Elect And Glorious

Verse 1

Church of God elect and glorious
Holy nation chosen race
Called as God's own special people
Royal priests and heirs of grace
Know the purpose of your calling
Show to all His mighty deeds
Tell of love which knows no limits
Grace which meets all human needs

Verse 2

God has called you out of darkness
Into His most marvellous light
Brought His truth to life within you
Turned your blindness into sight
Let your light so shine around you
That God's name is glorified
And all find fresh hope and purpose
In Christ Jesus crucified

Verse 3

Once you were an alien people
Strangers to God's heart of love
But He brought you home in mercy
Citizens of heaven above
Let His love flow out to others
Let them feel a Father's care
That they too may know His welcome
And His countless blessings share

Verse 4

Church of God elect and holy
Be the people He intends
Strong in faith and swift to answer
Each command your master sends
Royal priests fulfil your calling
Through your sacrifice and prayer
Give your lives in joyful service
Sing His praise His love declare
