Fulness in Christ
James Relly • English
Primary Scripture: John 1:16
Verse 1
All fulness in the Lamb we view; To look beside him, loss: He's only holy, just and true; All else is dung and dross.
Verse 2
There dwells in him, as stain'd with blood, Jehovah's pow'r and n ame; Greatly, from everlasting, God, Yea, when the slaughter'd Lamb.
Verse 3
In him we know the holy bride All gather'd into one; She looks out thro' his bleeding side, With all her beauties on.
Verse 4
In him we see God's heav'n, our earth, In perfect peace agree: This gives our one new man, its birth, And sets our nature free.
Verse 5
His purg'd humanity is our's, And in it now we prove A seat above the heav'nly pow'rs, Fix'd in the Father's love.
Verse 6
New heav'ns, new earth, we now possess; Beulah, that blessed field, Where dwells eternal righteousness; And God's our sun, and shield.
Verse 7
Here's nothing hurtful to destroy; The holy mountain's here; No curse, nor sin, for to annoy, No torment, guilt, or fear.
Verse 8
Of Jesus we will never cease To sing, as we began; In whom there dwells, in perfect peace, God, and his darling man.
