"WILL GOD INDEED DWELL ON THE EARTH?"

"Will God indeed dwell on the earth?"

Amazing mystery!

Great God, whom heav'n cannot contain,

How can this wonder be?

 

Behold, the Word, the Son of God,

A Man of flesh was made;

And in His holy body dwells

The fulness of Godhead!

 

Incarnate God, mighty to save,

For sinners lived and died!

By His obedience for us

We have been sanctified!

 

Yet, Jesus still abides with us.

His temple is His church.

He is the Head, and King, and Life,

And Glory of his church!

 

Christ even dwells within the hearts

Of sinners saved by grace!

His Spirit is our Comforter;

Our Savior is our Peace!
