Souls, put on your glorious dress, Waking into righteousness: Cloath'd with Christ aspire to shine, Radiance he of light divine; Beam of the eternal beam, He in God, and God in him! Strive we him in us to see, Transcript of the deity. 2 Burst we then the bands of death, Rais'd by his all-quickning breath; Long we to be loos'd from earth, Struggling51 into second birth. Spent at length is nature's night; Christ attends to give us light, Christ attends himself to give; God we now may see, and live. 51\"Struggling\" changed to \"Struggle\" in 4th end. (1743) and 5th edn. (1756). Tho' the outward man decay; Form'd within us day by day Still the inner man we view, Christ creating all things new. 3 Turn, O turn us, Lord, again, Raiser thou of fallen man! Sin destroy and nature's boast, Saviour thou of spirits lost! Thy great will in us be done: Crucified and dead our own, Ours no longer let us be; Hide us from ourselves in thee! Thou the life, the truth, the way, Suffer us no more to stray; Give us, Lord, and ever give Thee to know, in thee to live!","word_count":222,"source_url":null,"themes":["christology","reign-of-god","repentance"],"is_full_hymn":true,"created_at":"2026-01-29T16:57:18.187557"}]}
