"...may I never confine my religion to extraordinary occasions,
But ackowledge thee in all my ways;
Never limit my devotions to particular seasons
But be in thy fear all the day long..."
Election
"it is not feeling the Spirit that proves my saved state
But the truth of what Christ did perfectly for me;
All holiness in him is by faith made mine,
As if I had done it...
I rejoice to think all things are at thy disposal,
And I love to leave them there.
Then prayer turns wholly into praise,
And all I can do is to adore and love thee.
I want not the favour of man to lean upon,
For I know that thy electing grace is infinitely better."
