Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

605 (L.M.) Benjamin Beddome

Who shall condemn to endless flames

The chosen people of our God,

Since in the book of life their names

Are fairly writ in Jesus' blood?

He, for the sins of all th'elect,

Hath a complete atonement made,

And justice never can expect

That the same debt should twice be paid.

Not tribulation, nakedness,

Not famine, peril, or the sword,

Not persecution, or distress,

Can separate from Christ the Lord.

Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height,

Nor pow'rs below, nor pow'rs above;

Not present things, nor things to come,

Can change His purposes of love.

His sov'reign mercy knows no end,

His faithfulness shall still endure:

And those who on His truth depend,

Shall find His word forever sure.
