The saints in type are manifest
As like a bride, God’s heart to please,
And as a building for His rest.
In the Old Testament are these:
A building meet for life and rule,
A bride the man to match and please.
Were called by God His very spouse;
Among them and with them were built
God’s ruling city and God’s house.
As Bridegroom for the Bride has come;
With His own life He quickened her,
That she His counterpart become.
As David’s Son, God’s temple build,
That God may have a resting place
And there accomplish all He willed.
In whom His full delight doth rest;
It is a dwelling place to God
Where He may live and be expressed.
The full perfection ultimate
Of all the types of house and bride,
Th’ eternal plan to consummate.
Thru whom He may Himself express;
It is God’s tabernacle too
In which our God can rule and rest.
Of God’s work in humanity,
His full expression glorious
Thru His redeemed eternally.
