Tune: [Behold, what manner of love] (Bradbury)
Published in 7 hymnals


Representative Text

1 Behold, what manner of love,
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God.
Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us
That we should be called the sons of God.
Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not,
it knew him not, it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, the sons of God.
And it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know, that when he shall appear, we know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is, we shall see him as he is,
we shall be like him, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is, shall see him as he is, we shall be like him, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
