Of the sons of God to come,
All the creatures wait, expecting,
That they all may free become.
Subject now to vanity,
Looking for their full deliv'rance
From corruption's slavery.
Till we reach maturity;
We are growing into sonship,
With Christ in conformity.
That to Christ we be conformed;
All things also work together,
That in life we be transformed.
We will then be glorified;
Fully saturated with Him,
We'll be wholly sanctified.
All creation will be freed;
With the kid shall lie the leopard,
And the cow with bear shall feed.
We'll His heritage possess,
Glorified with Him as brethren,
God's full glory we'll express.
