God’s intention is to have us

God’s intention is to have us

All conformed to His dear Son;

Thus a work of transformation

By the Spirit must be done.

Lord

transform us to Thine image

In emotion

mind

and will;

Saturate us with Thy Spirit

All our being wholly fill.

God hath us regenerated

In our spirit with His life;

But He must transform us further—

In our soul by His own life.

Spreading outward from our spirit

Doth the Lord transform our soul

By the inward parts renewing

Till within His full control.

By the power of His Spirit

In His pattern He transforms;

From His glory to His glory

To His image He conforms.

He transforms

all sanctifying

Till like Him we are matured;

He transforms

our soul possessing

Till His stature is secured.
