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.
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!
