O Lord

we’ve seen Your purpose to bring the many sons

To share in Your full glory and see Your kingdom come.

We praise You

Lord

this glory is You

Yourself within

Spread out in all Your people to shine in all of them.

Since we received Your life

Lord

a seed’s been growing there:

The seed of inward glory

the glory we will share!

By growing ’til the blossom of glory blooms in full

We’ll thus enjoy Your increase and glory bountiful.

Hail! Captain of Salvation! Our heav’nly Pioneer!

Our praises

midst the battle and tumult

You will hear.

We’re following our Captain all through the mighty fray.

Our glorious

faithful Captain sustains us all the way.

Lord

fighting on to glory

You now have gone before;

Now fighting in Your footsteps we’ll conquer o’er and o’er.

From glory unto glory

we’ll fight until we see

The glory from within us shall manifested be.

Then

Lord

at last the fighting and battle cry will cease

And we’ll appear in glory

Your kingdom and increase.

That day we’ll be completed

that day Your face we’ll see

For in that blessed day

Lord

we’ll in the glory be!
