As God predestined and foreknew

1
As God predestined and foreknew,
His called ones He’ll conform unto
The image of His Son.
 
Conformed, conformed!
Conformed, conformed!
Unto the image of His Son,
The image of His Son.
2
The Holy Spirit groans and prays
According to God and His ways.
We’re to the Son conformed.
3
The Spirit operates within,
And outwardly He disciplines,
And thus are we conformed.
4
The purpose of His work within,
Plus groanings, prayers, and discipline,
Is that we’d be conformed.
5
All things together work for good
To those who love God, that they could
To His Son be conformed.
6
For God to gain the many sons,
He to the image of His Son
Must surely us conform.
7
That we all glorified may be,
Unto His Son’s own image He
Must fully us conform.
8
Ne’er from the love of Christ can we
Ever now separated be—
To make us conformed sons.
