The Lord above will not reject the people God foreknew;
God's faithfulness is sure and fast - to these God will be true.
The gifts of God are not revoked; God's calling does not fail.
God's mercy is from age to age and will at last prevail.
Our disobedience is not met with scorn or wounded pride;
God will be merciful to all; in this good news abide.
TEXT: Charies Spence Freeman, August 2023, after Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32
MUSIC: Tune WINCHESTER OLD, Este's Psalms, 1592; harm. George Kirbye, 1592.
To be blunt, this is not much of a lectionary reading, though it does carry some weight in its few words. A simple, compact tune seemed the best option for taking up this brief but potent text.
