Fullness of Time

The King of glory stooped low

To Woo and to win earthlings below;

Rude and forbidding;

Never listening to his bidding;

 Human faces reflected their hatred;

As heavens God man became our kindred.

With intense interest the angelic host watched,

As Jesus came to restore his image in man;

Rebellion had struck its roots deep in the heart;

Man did not care God’s heart was being torn apart.

Though corruption and defiance was seen,

At the very crisis, when Satan it seemed;

Ready to carry out his scheme;

To make forgiveness impossible;

Created a gulf deep and impassable;
Oh! what infinite God;
His truth was made known;
As he rescued the lost unbeknown. 

Spectacle for Infinite Purity to behold,

God sent His own Son to dethrone and uphold

The legions of evil

Led by the master of evil;

Christ crushed him, defeating
 all darkness suppressing;
His heartbreaking triump on a hill.

 As the angels wondered; beyond comprehension;

If all would receive, his glorious plan of redemption.

Christ fashion anew;

His creatures all new;

What a wonderful saviour and friend.
