Religion
Accepted
From Under the Surface
Accepted, Perfect, and Complete,
For God's inheritance made meet !
How true, how gforious, and how sweet !
In the Beloved — by the King
Accepted, though not anything
But forfeit lives had we to bring.
And Perfect in Christ Jesus made,
On Him our great trangressions laid,
We in His righteousness arrayed.
Complete in Him, our glorious Head,
With Jesus raised from the dead,
And by His mighty Spirit led !
O blessed Lord, is this for me ?
Then let my whole life hencefortlwbe
One Alleluia-song to Thee !
