CCXI. Fulness in Christ

1 All fulness in the Lamb we view;
To look beside him, loss:
He's only holy, just and true;
All else is dung and dross.

2 There dwells in him, as stain'd with blood,
Jehovah's pow'r and n ame;
Greatly, from everlasting, God,
Yea, when the slaughter'd Lamb.

3 In him we know the holy bride
All gather'd into one;
She looks out thro' his bleeding side,
With all her beauties on.

4 In him we see God's heav'n, our earth,
In perfect peace agree:
This gives our one new man, its birth,
And sets our nature free.

5 His purg'd humanity is our's,
And in it now we prove
A seat above the heav'nly pow'rs,
Fix'd in the Father's love.

6 New heav'ns, new earth, we now possess;
Beulah, that blessed field,
Where dwells eternal righteousness;
And God's our sun, and shield.

7 Here's nothing hurtful to destroy;
The holy mountain's here;
No curse, nor sin, for to annoy,
No torment, guilt, or fear.

8 Of Jesus we will never cease
To sing, as we began;
In whom there dwells, in perfect peace,
God, and his darling man.
