In death’s domain, by sin enslaved;
God’s loving care and sympathy
Brought us to Christ—by grace we’re saved!

With a new spirit and new heart.

That of His nature we take part.

God sprinkled us with waters fresh
To put off idols and their stain;
Our heart of stone He turned to flesh,
A new creation to obtain.

His divine nature’s ours today
That we may match His holiness.
All His commands live day by day.

We’ll ne’er depart, nor elsewhere veer.

And we enjoy His rich supply.

Eternally, He’ll satisfy.
