Christ all in all

AH what art thou, Lord Jesus, then?
What can we speak or shall?
Thou art unto all godly Men
Even their all in all.

Thou all in first Creation wast,
All things were made by thee,
And all things for thee too were made,
Whatever, Lord, they be.

And thou all things dost now uphold,
Of all things dost dispose;
Thou was't before all things of old,
And dost all things disclose.

Thou Heir also of all things art,
All things are given thee;
And all things dost to such impart
Who call'd and chosen be.

The substance of all shadows too
The Antitype, likewise
Of all the Types we read of do,
Who would thee then not prize?

The Second Part.

IN our Redemption thou art all,
Thou didst attonement make;
Thou purchass'd grace for great and small,
All have it for thy sake.

In our Election thou art he,
From whence to us it springs;
And also we were chose in thee,
Which so much comfort brings.

In Satisfaction we do find
Thou all in all art; so
'T was in thy own Eternal Mind
Grace on us to bestow.

According to thine own purpose
We all too called be,
Grace never had took hold on us
Had it not been through thee.

In Justification thou art all,
For 'tis in thee alone
We righteousness have since the Fall,
Besides thine there is none.

In Sanctification thou likewise
Art all in all, O Lord;
In thee alone this Blessing lies,
And by thy Holy Word

And Spirit we are all made clean,
New habits from thee flow;
And all that ever wash'd have been,
To thee they owe it do.

The Third Part.

Lord, our Acceptation is in thee,
O thou beloved One;
No Soul shall e're accepted be,
But through thy Blood alone:

And all in our Salvation then
Thou art in every thing,
Thou hast the Author of it been,
And grace from thee does spring.

By thee we all are quickned,
And rais'd to life again,
Who in our sins all once lay dead,
But now in life remain.

And in Regeneration
Ah! thou art all in all;
We are renewed by the Son,
'Tis thou who dost install

Each Soul in that high dignity
That waits on the new birth;
We were begotten, Lord, by thee,
And by thee are brought forth.

The Fourth Part.

In ev'ry Ordinance also
In which we should be found
O thou art all; for we well know
Grace in thee doth abound.

The Sacraments do hold thee forth,
And witness bear to thee;
And we by one to see by Faith
Thou nail'd was to the Tree;

Thy Body broke, and Blood was shed;
In Baptism we do espy
Thou in the Grave wast covered,
But long thou didst not lye:

But as the Body raised is
That cover'd was all o're,
So thou wast raised unto life,
And diest now no more.

In Prayer and Preaching thou art all,
What do we preach save thee?
'Tis on thy Name we also call,
And for thy sake have we

Whatever we do need or want,
We by thy Spirit cry,
And through thy Incense ev'ry Saint
Receives a full supply.

What is there more? What can we do,
But in the great'st amaze
To stand and think, and evermore
Sing forth thy worthy praise.
