Christ is the hope of glory, my very life

949

	1.	Christ is the hope of glory, my very life
		is He,
		He has regenerated and saturated me;
		He comes to change my body by His
		subduing might
		Like to His glorious body in glory
		bright!
		He comes, He comes, Christ comes
		to glorify me!
		My body He'll transfigure, like His
		own it then will be.
		He comes, He comes, redemption to
		apply!
		As Hope of glory He will come, His
		saints to glorify.
	2.	Christ is the hope of glory, He is God's
		mystery;
		He shares with me God's fulness and
		brings God into me.
		He comes to make me blended with
		God in every way,
		That I may share His glory with Him
		for aye.
	3.	Christ is the hope of glory, redemption
		full is He:
		Redemption to my body, from death to
		set it free,
		He comes to make my body a glorious
		one to be
		And swallow death for ever in victory.
	4.	Christ is the hope of glory, He is my
		history:
		His life is my experience, for He is one
		with me;
		He comes to bring me into His glorious
		liberty,
		That one with Him completely I'll ever
		be.
