LyicsBehold th' amazing gift of love
The Father has bestow'd
On us, the sons of sinful men,
To call us sons of God.
Conceal'd as yet his honor lies,
By this dark world unknown,
A world that knew not when he came,
E'en God's beloved Son.
High is the rank we now possess,
But higher we shall rise;
Though what we shall hereafter be
Is hid from mortal eyes.
We know we all when he appears,
Shall bear his image bright,
And all his glory full disclosed
Shall open to our sight.
A hope so great and so divine
May trials well endure,
And purify our souls from sin,
As Christ himself is pure.
