In spirit, in the church we see

The high estate we're destined for.

It's higher, vaster, more profound

Than anything we've seen before.

 2 

It's not a view in doctrine bare

But an unveiling of the Christ.

He's marvelous and far beyond

Our mental thought or power to share.

 3 

He's rich, unlimited, profound,

Immeasurable, and marvelous.

Yet 'tis a greater wonder still

He needs heirs of salvation — us.

 4 

God has accomplished many things —

He's planned, created, and brought forth.

The Son is now appointed Heir,

Administrator of God's worth.

 5 

But in th' economy of God

There is not one, but many sons.

One is the firstborn Son of God

With many other living ones.

 6 

Christ will inherit all God's things,

And we're the heirs of God with Christ.

We're growing now to be matured;

As heirs we'll soon be legalized.

 7 

We're joint-heirs with the firstborn Son,

Inheriting the universe.

We're in this corporation vast —

All partners of Christ and the church.

 8 

In spirit, in the church, we see

Our calling of unrivaled worth.

We're destined, not to go to heaven.

We're destined to be kings on earth.

 9 

We're paupers, yet we're glorious kings.

Inheriting the kingdom vast,

The earth, God's throne, and e'en all things

And all the Father is and has.
