All Fulness in the Lamb we view

Hymnal: Christian Hymns, Poems, and Spiritual Songs #I.II (1776) Lyrics: 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 Name; 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 through 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 ours, 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, us 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.

James Relly

1722 - 1778 Author of "Fulness in Christ" James Relly was born about 1722 at Jeffreston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and died in 1778. He was converted to Christianity during the Great Awakening ushered in by George Whitefield. He worked under George Whitefield as a Calvinistic Methodist preacher and missionary. However, Whitefield and Relly separated ways over Relly's seemingly universalist teaching that all humanity was elect (i.e. saved) when Christ took the punishment for all sin when he died. He also departed from both the Calvinists and Methodists by taking the doctrine of Justification further, in teaching that believers no longer sin and the Law's sole purpose is to condemn humanity and point them to Christ. He was the mentor of John Murray, the founder of the Universalist Church of America. Relly along with his brother John wrote Christian Hymns, Poems and Spiritual Songs in 1758, which John Murray had republished in America in 1776.
