This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

For the glorious revelation

Of the sons of God to come,

All the creatures wait, expecting,

That they all may free become.

 
 2 

All creation groans together,

Subject now to vanity,

Looking for their full deliv'rance

From corruption's slavery.

 
 3 

Even we ourselves are groaning,

Till we reach maturity;

We are growing to adoption,

With Christ in conformity.

 
 4 

'Tis for this the Spirit groaneth,

That to Christ we be conformed;

All things also work together,

That in life we be transformed.

 
 5 

God will bring us into glory,

We will then be glorified;

Fully saturated with Him,

We'll be wholly sanctified.

 
 6 

To the freedom of this glory,

All creation will be freed;

With the kid shall lie the leopard,

And the cow with bear shall feed.

 
 7 

Heirs with Christ in full adoption,

We'll His heritage possess,

Glorified with Him as brethren,

God's full glory we'll express.
