O TO BE AMONG THE CHOSEN

O to be among the chosen
 And to enter into rest;
To be with Jesus over Yonder,
 There to dwell with all the Blessed.

O to be among the chosen,
 Not the many but the Few,
Not to enter by the Broad Gate
 But the Narrow to pass through.

O to be among the chosen
 When my earthly race is run;
To know the bliss of life eternal;
 To hear my Saviour say, "Well done."

Will you be among the chosen?
 Surrender now your life to Christ;
Receive His pardon and forgiveness —
 Through grace, receive eternal life.
