330. What Raised the Wondrous Thought

S.M.
by G.V. Wigram
1
What raised the wondrous thought;
 
Or who did it suggest?
 
That we, the church, to glory brought,
 
Should with the Son be blest.
2
O God! the thought was Thine
 
(Thine only it could be),
 
Fruit of the wisdom, love divine,
 
Peculiar unto Thee:
3
For, sure, no other mind,
 
For thoughts so bold, so free,
 
Greatness or strength, could ever find:
 
Thine only it could be.
4
The motives, too, Thine own,
 
The plan, the counsel, Thine!
 
Made for Thy Son, bone of His bone,
 
In glory bright to shine.
5
O God! with great delight
 
Thy wondrous thought we see,
 
Upon His throne, in glory bright,
 
The bride of Christ shall be.
6
Sealed with the Holy Ghost,
 
We triumph in that love,
 
Thy wondrous thought has made our boast,
 
"Glory with Christ above."
