Behold the Amazing Gift of Love
- Behold th’amazing gift of love
the Father hath bestowed
on us, the sinful sons of men,
to call us sons of God! - Concealed as yet this honor lies,
by this dark world unknown,
a world that knew not when he came,
e’en God’s eternal Son. - High is the rank we now possess,
but higher we shall rise,
though what we shall hereafter be
is hid from mortal eyes. - Our souls, we know, when he appears,
shall bear his image bright,
for all his glory, full disclosed,
shall open to our sight. - A hope so great and so divine
may trials well endure,
and purify our souls from sin,
as Christ himself is pure.
