God ordained us unto sonship,
Ere creation’s work was done,
To conform us by His Spirit
To the image of His Son;
That His only dear Begotten
Might become the firstborn One,
And by Him with many brethren
His expression full be won.
By divine regeneration
We the sons of God became,
But we must mature to fullness,
Thus the birthright to obtain.
Born and fully grown to manhood,
God’s adoption we may share;
By the measure of full stature,
We God’s sonship will declare.
All our spirit, soul and body
Unto Christ conformed must be;
This will be accomplished fully
When our glorious Lord we see.
By our body’s full redemption
Shall adoption be complete;
By the final transformation
All God’s purpose we shall meet.
By that final transformation,
We’ll be fully sanctified;
God will bring us into glory,
With His Son identified.
All creation is expecting
Sons of God revealed to be,
That they might be
freed from bondage
Into glorious liberty.
