Until Christ is Formed in You

 

There is a Christmas morn

Celebrated each an’ every day

When Christ the Saviour is born

Not in feeding trough or hay

But in hearts who choose, believing

Having seen the Son of God

Through faith in hearing, receiving

The Life from up above

 

That Life grows daily increasing

In hearts of those now changed

Ever fuller, deeper, wider

None will ever be the same

A will of our own no longer

Our life surrendered from view

A decreasing of one for the other

Until Christ is formed in you

 

One heart, one mind, one purpose

Given to His will from above

To surrender all for our Master

His Life expressed through Love

As one this Christ is revealed

Not a single part left out

We need each one to see the Son

Full measure, full stature, fully stout

 

He’s revealed to all His timeless plan

To unveil His ageless story

His Victory over death ‘n’ Devil

Christ in us the Hope of Glory

All Praise the King of Life

He’s done with shame and loss

He’s restored to Him the Fullness

Who entrusted to Him the lot

 

His Love is never failing

Eternally none shall ever fall

From grace complete and saving

His Life supplied as All in All.
