Tune: St Denio
('Immortal, invisible, God only wise')
Colossians 1 v.19-23
********
It pleased God that Father that in Christ should dwell
All fulness, and having made peace through Him well
Peace through the blood of His cross, that He did shed
By him to reconcile all things, life from dead
God reconciles all things to Himself, we see
'Tis through Christ, all things that in heaven, earth be
And you that were sometimes alienated
And enemies in your mind, unto sins led
Yet now you He has reconciled by body
Of Christ, through His death, to present you holy
And unblameable and unreproveable
In His sight, to salvation He does you call
If you continue in the faith here groudned
And settled, steadfast, on the hope true founded
The hope of the gospel, which is to all preached
Until unto ends of the earth it has reached
