1 O God of love, in Your everlasting love, Yearning earnestly for Your elect, As for Israel so long ago, That they’d turn from their idols to gain Your incarnate Christ as righteousness.
2 Christ came as man, as Your righteousness to us, That in Your divine economy He Your people’s everything might be As our universality and our centrality experienced.
3 Wicked by birth, deceitful corrupt in heart, Our one hope: redemption from our fall, Wickedness and sin, but that’s not all— The redemption of Christ and salvation by life divine dispensed to us.
4 Saved by Your life and Your life’s capacity, We’re renewed that You could be our God And that we Your people all could be That we’d share the enjoyment of all of the riches of the Trinity.
5 Israel will be restored in the coming age; With Your overcomers they’ll enjoy All Your riches which will consummate In new earth and new heav’n for eternity in the New Jerusalem.
