From glory unto glory! What mighty blessings crown The lives for which our Lord laid His own so freely down! 3 The fullness of His blessing encompasseth our way; The fullness of His promises crowns every brightening day; The fullness of His glory is beaming from above, While more and more we learn to know the fullness of His love. 4 And closer yet and closer the golden bonds shall be, Uniting all who love our Lord in pure sincerity; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught of God that mighty love to know. 5 Oh, let our adoration for all that He hath done, Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one; And let our consecration be real, deep, and true: Oh, even now our hearts shall bow, and joyful vows renew. 6 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go, While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fullness flow, To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here, Until His very presence crown our happiest New Year.
