The Father from His bosom gave

Verse 1
The Father from his bosom gave
His Partner, whole mankind to save,
The soul of his dear sinless Son
A sacrifice for sin he made
That in his righteousness array’d
We all might boldly come to the eternal throne.

Verse 2
Join’d to our Head in Christ we are,
His pure, unsinning nature share,
And glorious thro’ his glory shine,
Chang’d into Him our souls adore,
Distinguishable now no more,
One spirit with the Lord our Righteousness Divine.
