Chosen Not for Good in Me
}
Chosen not for good in me,
Waked from coming wrath to flee,
Hidden in the Saviour's side,
By the Spirit sanctified-
Teach me, Lord, on earth to show,
By my love, how much I owe.

Oft I walk beneath the cloud,
Dark as midnight's gloomy shroud:
But, when fear is at the height,
Jesus comes, and all is light;
Blessed Jesus! bid me show
Doubting saints how much I owe.

Oft the nights of sorrow reign-
Weeping, sickness, sighing, pain;
But a night Thine anger burns-
Morning comes and joy returns:
God of comforts! bid me show
To Thy poor how much I owe.

When in flowery paths I tread,
Oft by sin I'm captive led;
Oft I fall, but still arise-
Jesus comes-the tempter flies:
Blessed Jesus! bid me show
Weary sinners all I owe.
