The Beloved One

You left your home in glory
To be made in the image of man
So that your image within us
Could come to understand
That by your word the world consists
Your word works and wonders exist
Forever to endure
For your mercy is sure.
For your mercy is sure.

You are the Word that was made flesh
Incarnate God, Creator
And every creature ever made
Shall bow sooner or later
Every planet, every star
Every nation near or far
Shall obey your sovereign will
For at your fountain hearts are filled.
For at your fountain hearts are filled.

Hearts are filled when e’re they yield
To the Lord who made the earth
Christ created all the universe
It declares His matchless worth
Behold what manner of Love is this
That sick sinners should become
The chosen children who are His
Adopted daughters and sons
Conformed to the Beloved One

You are the one who wrote our lives
You are the one who ever guides
The One on whom we cast our cares
See the tablets of our hearts laid bare
And from the depths of souls unbound
Sweet shouts of grace ever resound
Sweet shouts of grace ever resound

Hearts are filled when e’re they yield
To the Lord who made the earth
Christ created all the universe
It declares His matchless worth
Behold what manner of Love is this
That sick sinners should become
The chosen children who are His
Adopted daughters and sons
Conformed to the Beloved One


This may be, I believe, the 2000th hymn Spirit hath visited me with. Will check later.
