A great mystery, a wonderful story

http://www.hymnal.net/hymn.php?t=ns&n=6
1. There is a great mystery,
A wonderful story;
For ages 'twas hidden,
Now shown in His wisdom;
'Tis a divine romance
Of God and man in time;
Beyond understanding,
Yet seen in God's speaking.

(Chorus)
God fell in love with man;
For only God's love can
Make man just the same as He
In life and in nature.
We are His expression,
is bride, His enlargement;
Forever, together,
As living, insep'rable as one couple
Eternally.

2. Though He was rejected
By men who were blinded;
His love is constraining,
is heart still unchanging;
Thus in incarnation
Came He as salvation;
His name is called Jesus,
And He came to seek us.

3. Though I've been a sinner,
I now have been redeemed
By Christ who died for me,
Who was raised in glory.
I am joined to Him now,
Together we're living;
I love to enjoy Him,
For I've been forgiven.

4. His love is so tender,
To Him I'll surrender;
His name is so precious,
I gladly call, "Jesus!"
His Person's so charming,
My heart ever winning;
I'll hold back no longer,
I'll love Him forever.
