Throughout the whole of Holy Writ

Throughout the whole of Holy Writ The saints in type are manifest As like a bride, God’s heart to please, And as a building for His rest. |
2
|
The types and figures of the Church In the Old Testament are these: A building meet for life and rule, A bride the man to match and please. |
3
|
God’s people in the ancient times Were called by God His very spouse; Among them and with them were built God’s ruling city and God’s house. |
4
|
Incarnate God, the God-man, Christ, As Bridegroom for the Bride has come; With His own life He quickened her, That she His counterpart become. |
5
|
In resurrection Christ doth now, As David’s Son, God’s temple build, That God may have a resting place And there accomplish all He willed. |
6
|
The Church is thus the Bride of Christ, In whom His full delight doth rest; It is a dwelling place to God Where He may live and be expressed. |
7
|
The new Jerusalem will be The full perfection ultimate Of all the types of house and bride, Th’ eternal plan to consummate. |
8
|
It is the Bride which matches Christ, Thru whom He may Himself express; It is God’s tabernacle too In which our God can rule and rest. |
9
|
The ultimate completion ’tis Of God’s work in humanity, His full expression glorious Thru His redeemed eternally. |
