Marvelous Mystery


Christ appeared in the flesh,-For our sake and salvation

Was vindicated by the Spirit,-was preached among the nations,

Was seen by angels,-was believed on by men

Was taken up in glory.-To intercede and to defend


And now that greater mystery-God with us effects His plan

Christ in us the hope of glory-That perfects what he began

Now the Holy Spirit fills us-And In Him we are sealed

We are partakers of the grace-The Spirit has revealed


Oh what a marvelous mystery

What a marvelous mystery

God has revealed to you and me

Oh that He has opened our eyes to see

Oh that He has included you and me!


The mystery that was hidden -For ages and generations 

Is now revealed to his saints.-And this is the revelation

God’s surpassing power-A treasure in vessels of clay

The knowledge of God’s glory-In the face of Christ displayed


The mystery from which true godliness springs is great:

Yet there’s a greater  mystery- Glory beyond this estate

The riches of the glory -Of this marvelous mystery, 

Which is very Christ in you,-This the true hope of glory.


Oh what a marvelous mystery

What a marvelous mystery

God has revealed to you and me

Oh that He has opened our eyes to see

Oh that He has included you and me!

Oh what a marvelous mystery

What a marvelous mystery

God has revealed to you and me

Oh that He has opened our eyes to see

Oh that He has included you and me!
