Verse 1

How can it be this truth divine
Declared by God above
That all things by His grand design
Work good for us by love

Chorus

What can we say to these great things
Of mystery sublime
That if He is for us we can sing
Now and for all time

Verse 2

Called by our Lord with purposed ends
No tragedy shall win
No curse for those He calls His friends
Who He saved from all their sins

Chorus

What can we say to these great things
Of mystery sublime
That if He is for us we can sing
Now and for all time

Verse 3

Foreknown by Him
With hearts made new
To His Son we conform
No power on Earth can this undo
For those He's made reborn

Verse 4

First did choose and called He then
To surely justify
All those of the faith
Though we know not when
He soon will glorify

Chorus

What can we say to these great things
Of mystery sublime
That if He is for us we can sing
Now and for all time
