1 From ages hidden, and generations,
Was
the sweet mystery, of Jesus in us,
God
willed to make it known, riches of glory,
We
know the mystery of Christ in us.
Refrain
Preaching
the Word of God,
Hidden
for ages,
Christ
is our life,
He
lives in us.
2 Now manifested in all His saints,
The
hope of glory, this mystery
We
now proclaim Him, knowing of Jesus,
He
is our life and we uplift Him.
3 Teach now every man, and with all
wisdom,
Present
each man, now completed in Christ,
In
our new self, His power working,
Revealing
mystery, of Christ in us.
