1 | For the glorious revelation |
| | Of the sons of God to come, |
| All the creatures wait, expecting, |
| | That they all may free become. |
2 | All creation groans together, |
| | Subject now to vanity, |
| Looking for their full delivrance |
| | From corruptions slavery. |
3 | Even 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. |
5 | God will bring us into glory, |
| | We will then be glorified; |
| Fully saturated with Him, |
| | Well be wholly sanctified. |
6 | To the freedom of this glory, |
| | All creation will be freed; |
| With the kid shall lie the leopard, |
| | And the cow with bear shall feed. |
7 | Heirs with Christ in our full sonship, |
| | Well His heritage possess, |
| Glorified with Him as brethren, |
| | Gods full glory well express. |
