Before our hopes were up

Before our hopes were up,

Christ knew us.
Down in the dumps,
he’s with us.
What a God of glory calls us,
how extravagant his mercy,
how wonderful his love,
how comprehensive his power.
All things are headed up in this God:
our brother, sister, friend, redeemer,
saviour, Lord of all.
