"When Israel went out of Egypt.... Judah was His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion" (Psalm 114:1-7). "Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
As Israel who had been enslaved
Rejoiced when God's dominion came,
So we who now by grace are saved
Show forth the praises of His name.
We are a chosen generation,
Peculiar in our Savior's care,
A royal priesthood, holy nation,
To show His praises everywhere.
Lord, we thank You for Your voice
That called us into heaven's light
To make us Your peculiar choice
When we, by grace, received our sight!
