Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXXXVII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: The Father's great decree Lyrics: 1 The Father's great decree
In Christ is now fulfil'd;
In spirit there we see
All things are reconcil'd,
And made conformable to God,
Wash'd from all filth in Jesus' blood.
2 Now heav'ns, and earth, we spy,
With hearts of God inspir'd,
Which ancient prophecy
Foretold, and saints desir'd:
That Jesus is this grace, is true,
Where old things cease, and all is new.
3 New nature, pure, divine,
New testament and plan,
New glories on us shine,
In Christ the heav'nly man;
Our old man he was crucified
And lost from us when Jesus died.
4 'Tis done! we're made anew,
And our intelligence
Receives the record true;
In spirit we commence
That perfect man, who did proclaim
The first, and last, to be his name.
