"Called of God"

A hymn written by William Gadsby. (in 7s meter - example: "Jesus Calls Us")

Hebrews 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

"Called of God"

1. Called to see God’s righteous law
Holy is without a flaw;
Called to feel its vengeful power,
And to tremble in that hour.

2. Called the cleansing blood to feel;
Called to know it me can heal;
Called to feel my guilt depart,
Through the Saviour’s bleeding heart.

3. Called, and called by grace divine,
In full glory I shall shine.
Called while here, to sing and tell,
Jesus has done all things well.

4. Called to part with flesh and sin,
And eternal life to win;*
And, when Jesus bids me fly,
Sing his praise beyond the sky.

Note from the pdf I copied this from www.chapellibrary.org: *eternal life to win – not that eternal life is earned but rather that the Christian life is like a race and our participation should be like one who intends to finish well (1 Corinthians 9:24-27).
