Tune: Angel Voices
('Come to us, creative Spirit'
= 'Angel voices ever singing')
***********
Man proposes, God disposes
All He wills and says
Yet works in co-operation
With every nation
That will seek Him, for they shall find
Of His mercies they are kind
And work out your own salvation
Men of each station
For it is God that works in you
By His graces true
He inspires to deed and action
Of His people, e'en each one
Whosoever, they may saved be
If come to Christ, see
And also there pre-destiny
In God's wisdom be
Here free offer, no compulsion
To become God's daughter, son
And yet there no other name for
Our salvation sure
But the name of Jesus Christ can
Save each woman, man
Children too, a universal
Salvation be unto all
Jesus, He the Life, the Truth, Way
For us night and day
Enter through the strait gate, follow
Him on life's path, know
It a narrow way, persevere
Fear only with godly fear

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.5.8.5.8.7. format. A less well known hymn, to a more well known tune. This leads on rather, from my 'Keep and Kept' poem, God and us, co-operation, working together, etc.
