1.

Hidden in God is our life with Christ;
In beauty it grows to His praise.
It’s planted by faith into Jesus’ death;
Through prayer it shines forth all our days.
Always His death is at work in me,
Resisting all sin that it findeth there.
On this sure way I go on with Him
By power He gives me through prayer.

2.

Cunningly Satan sows thoughts of doubt
To lead the unwary astray.
He whispers excuses and unbelief
To keep them from going faith’s way.
Yet the great work God is doing now,
With more and more clarity comes to sight.
Therefore, O soul who loves Jesus so,
By faith resist Satan with might.

3.

O what a wonderful life this is,
United in Jesus, God’s Son!
We all thus partake of the same new mind,
Which leads through His death to be one.
Blessed and great is this mystery,
Revealed within all who its truth believe.
Only the babes and the contrite ones
Are able this truth to receive.

4.

Jesus is choosing Himself a bride;
He forms her to be just like Him.
She’s clothed in fine linen, so pure and white.
Her beauty shines forth from within.
Singing with joy o’er her treasure new,
Her life in the Spirit breaks forth in pow’r.
Fixing her vision on hidden things
Brings more from her Bridegroom each hour.
