Like Thee, O Lord! how wondrous fair (109)

Like Thee, O Lord! how wondrous fair,
Lord Jesus, all Thy members are!
A life divine to them is given-
The bright inheritance of heaven!

Just as we were we came to Thee,
As heirs of wrath and misery:
Just as Thou art, now we are Thine-
We stand in righteousness divine.

Just as Thou art! nor doubt nor fear
Can e’er to those like Thee be near!
O boundless love! as Thee we’re seen-
The "righteousness of God in Him!"

Just as Thou art! O blissful ray
That turned our darkness into day!
That woke us from our death of sin,
To know our perfectness in Him!

Soon, soon, ‘mid joys on joys untold,
Thou wilt this grace and love unfold,
And worlds on worlds adoring see
The part Thy members have in Thee!
