Election Excludes Boasting. 1 Cor. 1. 26-31
I. Watts C.M.
1
But few among the carnal wise,
But few of noble race,
Obtain the favour of thy 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.
