As God now shines into our hearts

As God now shines into our hearts

We are renewed; all old departs.

In earthen vessels

treasure’s laid;

Excelling pow’r is thus displayed.

In earthen vessels

treasure’s laid;

Excelling pow’r is thus displayed.

Excelling pow’r is thus displayed.

Pressed on all sides

constricted not;

Perplexed

and yet despairing not;

Though persecuted

we’re not left;

We’re struck down

yet not unto death.

In body bearing Jesus’ death

Thus Jesus’ life is manifest.

Death in our body operates;

God’s life within now radiates.

From death to life God raised up Christ

To make us

too

alive with Christ.

Although our outer man decay

Our inner man’s renewed each day.

Although our outer man decay

Our inner man’s renewed each day;

Our inner man’s renewed each day.

The lightness of our sufferings

Surpassing weight of glory brings;

Consider not what we can see

But things not seen heed utterly.
