1 The Father's love to man, so free,
Made us the fulness of the Son:
The Son, he wills that we should be
With him, where e'er he is, as one.
2 In him a new creation made,
No more to fail, but to endure;
Where we the members, he the head,
One body, we're conceived pure.
3 In him, in his mysterious birth,
Born in him as that holy thing,
Whose praise, as God espous'd to earth,
The angel host with joy did sing.
4 In him together circumcis'd,
When all our Filthiness of flesh,
Which God in holiness despis'd,
Was quite put off in righteousness.
5 In him, in all the works he wrought;
In him together crucify'd;
In him, as risen without fault,
And in him fully glorify'd.
6 With him, where e'er he was, we were,
In all conditions still the same;
With him, where e'er he is, we are,
And as him pure and free from blame.
7 In seeing him, ourselves we see,
And all his glory as our own;
Our joy is full, the Son is free,
And Jesus wears th' eternal crown.
