“In [Christ] are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge… And you, being dead in your sins… hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us… nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:3,13-15).
In
Christ are hid the boundless treasures
Of
wisdom, knowledge, and of grace.
At
His right hand are endless pleasures
Which
in His presence now we trace.
And
we who once were dead in sins,
Are
now alive in Christ our Lord.
We
are the prize our Savior wins,
And
Christ Himself is our Reward.
Our
list of sins which had been written
Have
all been blotted out by Christ
Who
as the Lamb of God was smitten
And
for our souls was sacrificed.
Behold
our Savior on the cross
Where
all our sins were thereby nailed!
Behold
Him purge our sins as dross;
Triumphantly
our Lord prevailed!
O
Lord, how great is Your salvation,
Beyond
comparison by far!
How
high above our contemplation
Your
treasures and Your triumph are!
Lord,
send us forth now to proclaim
The
treasures of amazing love,
The
triumph in Your holy name,
And
grace extended from above.
