Grace Gloryings

('O Father, all-creating'

OR 'The church's one foundation')

Ephesians 2 v.4-10

******

God, who is rich in mercy

For His great love, so be

Wherewith He loved us, e'en when

We were dead in sins then

He has made us alive, see

Together with Christ, we

By grace are saved, believing

Salvation receiving

 

Together with Christ He raised

Us up, His name be praised

Made us sit together in

heavenly realms therein

We be in Christ Jesus, so

In future we may know

The exceeding graces true

Shown by Him to me, you

 

This grace is in His kindness

In Christ Jesus, no less

For by grace are we save through

Faith, His mercies not few

It be not of ourselves, for

It is gift of God sure

Not of our doings, lest we

Should boast arrogantly

 

For we are His workmanship

We come to Him, worship

We are created in Christ

Jesus to deeds sufficed

Good works which God has prepared

Made ready, with us shared

That we should do these deeds, be

All unto His glory

    Very endearing dear Orchi
    Cling to the last stanza
    “ For we are His workmanship

    We come to Him, worship

    We are created in Christ

    Jesus to deeds sufficed

    Good works which God has prepared

    Made ready, with us shared

    That we should do these deeds, be

    All unto His glory”
