For the glorious revelation

For the glorious revelation

Of the sons of God to come

All the creatures wait

expecting

That they all may free become.

All creation groans together

Subject now to vanity

Looking for their full deliv’rance

From corruption’s slavery.

Even we ourselves are groaning

Till we reach maturity;

We are growing into sonship

With Christ in conformity.

’Tis for this the Spirit groaneth

That to Christ we be conformed;

All things also work together

That in life we be transformed.

God will bring us into glory

We will then be glorified;

Fully saturated with Him

We’ll be wholly sanctified.

To the freedom of this glory

All creation will be freed;

With the kid shall lie the leopard

And the cow with bear shall feed.

Heirs with Christ in our full sonship

We’ll His heritage possess

Glorified with Him as brethren

God’s full glory we’ll express.
