[1]
Behold the amazing gift of love
the Father hath bestowed
on us, the sinful sons of men,
to call us sons of God!
[2]
Concealed as yet this honour lies,
by this dark world unknown,
a world that knew not when he came
even God's eternal Son.
[3]
High is the rank we now possess;
but higher we shall rise;
though what we shall hereafter be
is hid from mortal eyes.
[4]
Our souls, we know, when he appears,
shall bear his image bright;
for all his glory, full disclosed,
shall open to our sight.
[5]
A hope so great, and so divine,
may trials well endure;
and purge the soul from guilt and sin,
as Christ himself is pure.
Behold the amazing gift of love
