('Love divine, all loves excelling')

2 Corinthians 3 v.7-18

********

Lord, you our sanctification

Transforming us to your Son

By your Spirit in us dwelling

Life of God in us living

Restoring us to His image

Through ups, down, hills, vale and ridge

In our journeying on daily

Grant us grace still, we do pray

 

Though Old Covenant was glorious

Your blessings excel for us

For New Covenant we partake

You us fit for it do make

Treasure of your Spirit biding

In our hearts we to you sing

Comes to occupy weak vessels

Yet strengthens us in our souls

 

Give us patience, perseverance

Shall not happen at once, hence

By your Spirit's working in us

We are changed, and we confess

That our part is so to work out

What you work in us, no doubt

Here high call of your plan, purpose

In such as me, such as us

 

Now the Lord, He that Spirit is

Where the Spirit is, is this

Liberty, freedom, openness

His desire is us to bless

We all here with open faces

Behold in glass His graces

Glass as an imperfect mirror

Gives shadowed image, a blur

 

But we are changed, and more clearly

In us His image we see

Beholding His glory in glass

We are changed, it shall surpass

All humans greatest fine splendours

So praise to Him all renders

From glory to glory transformed

By the Spirit of the Lord
