2 Peter 1:3-11
1 Given us, given us, God has given us
Precious faith, power divine, greatest promises.
2 Precious faith in each saint, precious equally,
Precious faith holding us, holding ceaselessly.
3 Power divine wrought in us is the source so great;
Power divine is in us now to operate.
4 Promises, promises, all God's called ones share;
Promises, given us, great and precious are.
5 Christ within, as the pow'r, in our spirit lives;
Christ without is the Word — all God's promises.
6 Faith and pow'r, promises — these our full supply.
Diligence, diligence, let us now apply;
7 In the growth from the seed many items come;
By this growth in the Lord fruitful we become.
8 Diligence day by day will this growth insure;
Diligence thus will make our election sure.
9 For this growth, for this growth, Lord, ourselves we give,
By the faith, promises, and the pow'r to live.
