WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT!

In moral waste and emptiness

The whole world lies in night,

Ignoring God's desire to bless,

Repelling heavenly light.

Where could God find what He had sought?

Only where He, in Christ, had wrought.

But those who, by His work, receive

God come near in a Man

He owns as His, as they believe

According to His plan;

God has an answer to His thought

In men where He in mercy wrought.

Within them God displays that flesh

Cannot achieve His will

He breaks the bands which would enmesh

Through Sin and Satan still,

And shows what He Himself has brought

To being through what He has wrought.

Waiting as God's designs unfold

Vessels for Him expand

In their capacity to hold

Under His gracious hand,

That He may joy in vessels fraught

With treasure, through what He has wrought.

Oh glorious answer to God's ways

And all that He has done  

Men, giving Him eternal praise,

Conformed to His own Son,

Fit for a scene where there is naught

But God and that which God hath wrought.
