A Hymn of Praise

Saved, and brought to God the Father,
By the living Lord, who died;
All our sins were laid upon Him,
Now, through faith, we’re justified.
Life, eternal life, possessing,
In the Christ of God on high,
And the Holy Ghost, as earnest
Of our home beyond the sky.
All things ours—God’s Word declares it—
All things present and to come;
Taken by Him into favor
In His well-beloved Son.
Christ the Head, and we the members
Of His body; who can tell
All the wonders, all the glories.
In “the Mystery” that dwell?
Quickened, raised, and in Thee seated,
Now our place and portion are;
With Thee, like Thee, soon forever;
Shine then, Bright and Morning Star!
Blessed God! We bow before Thee:
Savior, we Thy name adore,
Render to Thee ceaseless praises,
Here on earth, and evermore.
