REDEMPTION

Redemption subsists in the worth of the Person

Who holds the first place in the Father’s affection,

The Son of His love, who is given the kingdom

For which we are fit through His worth and perfection.

Redemption is known through the blood of the Saviour

Through which, by God’s grace, we are brought into favour;

Christ satisfied God in the work of atonement

While God’s heart rejoiced in His charm and His savour.

We wait for adoption, the body’s redemption,

And with us is waiting the whole of creation

Till Christ is acclaimed on the throne of his kingdom

And all is transformed at that great liberation.
