Election Excludes Boasting, 1 Cor. 1 26-31. |
1 But few among the carnal wise, But few of noble race, Obtain the favour of thine eyes, Almighty King of Grace. 2 He takes the men of meanest name For sons and heirs of God; And thus he pours abundant shame On honourable blood. 3 He calls the fool, and makes him know The mysteries of his grace, To bring aspiring wisdom low, And all its pride abase. 4 Nature has all its glories lost When brought before his throne; No flesh shall in his presence boast But in the Lord alone.
