Hymnal: Common Praise #389 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the amazing gift of love
the Father has bestowed
on us, the sinful sons of men,
to call us sons of God!
2 Concealed as yet this honour lies,
by this dark world unknown,
a world that knew not when he came,
ev'n God's eternal Son.
3 High is the rank we now possess;
but higher we shall rise,
though what we shall hereafter be
is hid from mortal eyes.
4 Our lives, we know, when he appears,
shall bear his image bright;
for all his glory, full disclosed,
shall open to our sight.
5 A hope so great and so divine
may trials well endure;
and purify our souls from sin,
as Christ himself is pure.
