In Christ there lies the treasure that grace alone imparts, a bounty beyond measure bestowed on human hearts. In knowledge of salvation, by wisdom of his word, we learn, with adoration, the secret of the Lord. The love of Christ compels us, who freed us from our sins, that dying love, which tells us our risen life begins. Whatever here befalls us his mercy never ends; we follow where he calls us and walk with him as friends. To Christ, the hope of glory when earth shall pass away, and all our human story be bright with heaven's day, what praise we then shall render to see, enthroned above, our risen Lord in splendor, whom yet unseen we love!
