('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”
Thanks S.
