1  God's intention is to have us

       All conformed to His dear Son;

    Thus a work of transformation

       By the Spirit must be done.

 2  God hath us regenerated

       In our spirit with His life;

    But He must transform us further —

       In our soul by His own life.

 3  Spreading outward from our spirit

       Doth the Lord transform our soul,

    By the inward parts renewing,

       Till within His full control.

 4  By the power of His Spirit

       In His pattern He transforms;

    From His glory to His glory

       To His image He conforms.

 5  He transforms, all sanctifying,

       Till like Him we are matured;

    He transforms, our soul possessing,

       Till His stature is secured.
