 1 

How all-inclusive, Lord, Thou art;

   Of God we are in Thee —

The portion God prepared for us,

   Our all in all to be.

 

 2 

Thou art to us God's wisdom true,

   We all are saved through Thee;

Thou art God's only way to save,

   Thou art our only plea.

 

 3 

Thou art to us our righteousness,

   All God requires to meet;

In Thee we all are justified,

   In Thee we are complete.

 

 4 

Thou art to us our holiness

   That we may be transformed;

In Thee we all are sanctified,

   To Thee we'll be conformed.

 

 5 

Thou art to us redemption too,

   That we Thy likeness bear;

Transfigured will our bodies be

   Thy liberty to share.

 

 6 

Dear Lord, while we remember Thee,

   Enjoying all Thou art,

We thus would hasten Thy return

   And ne'er from Thee depart.

 

 7 

How sweet to have this foretaste here,

   A taste so wonderful,

Yet still we fain would be with Thee,

   And share Thyself in full.
