Hymn 970  

SUBJECT: HOPE OF GLORY—THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD
METER: 8.7.8.7.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Sicilian Melody

1For the glorious revelation
  Of the sons of God to come,
 All the creatures wait, expecting,
  That they all may free become.
2All creation groans together,
  Subject now to vanity,
 Looking for their full deliv’rance
  From corruption’s slavery.
3Even we ourselves are groaning,
  Till we reach maturity;
 We are growing into sonship,
  With Christ in conformity.
4’Tis for this the Spirit groaneth,
  That to Christ we be conformed;
 All things also work together,
  That in life we be transformed.
5God will bring us into glory,
  We will then be glorified;
 Fully saturated with Him,
  We’ll be wholly sanctified.
6To the freedom of this glory,
  All creation will be freed;
 With the kid shall lie the leopard,
  And the cow with bear shall feed.
7Heirs with Christ in our full sonship,
  We’ll His heritage possess,
 Glorified with Him as brethren,
  God’s full glory we’ll express.
