God is righteous in His doings

God is righteous in His doings

He is perfect in His ways;

Just is He in all His actions

And He well deserves our praise.

Righteous was His condemnation

Righteous His requirement;

For the law had deemed us sinners

And for judgment we were meant.

Oh

how blest the love that spared us

For the law had judged us dead.

God

to meet the righteous judgment

Passed it on His Son instead.

Hallelujah! Our Redeemer

Christ

to God has purchased us;

Now enjoying His redemption

We become God’s righteousness.

God is holy in His nature

Holiness is what He is.

In this way He sanctified us

Makes our nature one with His.

Spreading from our quickened spirit

He renews each inward part

Moving into all our being

Making home in all our heart.

Oh

how blessed is this process!

It’s the Lord’s life-saving way.

It’s our constant

real experience;

It’s our life from day to day.

As we’re minding just the spirit

Then the mind is life to us

And the Lord in us is gaining

Transformation marvelous!

Glory is God’s true expression

All He is

in full

expressed;

Final stage of our redemption

Bodily made manifest.

Glory is the consummation

Of this life which sanctifies;

Our complete transfiguration

Is the goal which life supplies.

’Tis for this we wait

expecting

To be raptured

glorified.

Then the earth will see God’s fullness;

Christ completely testified.

We fore’er will just express Him

Nature will rejoice to see

All the sons of God in glory

Manifested finally.

By His mercy

we’re selected

Ours a glorious destiny.

Not by running

nor by willing

But through God’s own sovereignty.

Once we were wild olive branches

Now the root and fat partake

Grafted in

rejoice together

Growing for the kingdom’s sake.

As we’re daily in this process

And by life are sanctified

How we thank Him for the blessing

Of the church life He’s supplied.

Here God is our full enjoyment

Practical and real to us;

Sons we are

and heirs together

In the church life

glorious!
