 1 

Gracious Lord, Thy name "I AM" is,

Precious name, how rich and full 'tis,

All-inclusive, faithful too 'tis —

      All, we need, Thou art!

 

 2 

Thou the Son, the Father in Thee,

As the Spirit now indwell me,

That the riches of Thyself we

      May experience.

 

 3 

Thou the Temple for God's dwelling,

Thou the Father's life e'er telling;

We in Thee with joy excelling

      Face to face see Him.

 

 4 

Thou the Lamb and Thou the Bridegroom,

For the bride Thou sufferedst sin's doom,

Wounded, crucified in our room;

      Thus we find our rest.

 

 5 

Thou art wisdom and the way, Lord,

Thou our lives dost plan each day, Lord,

Grace to us Thou dost convey, Lord,

      In Thy path to walk.

 

 6 

Pure and holy, righteous Thou art,

One with God, well-pleasing His heart,

Thou within to us dost impart

      Harmony with God.

 

 7 

Thou art life and Thou art light, Lord,

Death hast swallowed, banished night, Lord,

Thou hast quickened, given sight, Lord;

      We are now set free.

 

 8 

Thou art resurrection power,

Thou the conqu'ror in hell's hour;

Thou dost us with might empower

      Over all to reign.

 

 9 

Living water, food supply, Lord,

Thou Thyself art, and didst die, Lord,

All our want to satisfy, Lord;

      Now we feast on Thee.

 

 10 

Thou the Shepherd and Physician,

Thou hast healed our sick condition;

Comfort, guide, protect — Thy mission;

      Thou dost care for us.

 

 11 

Priest and King Thou art fore'er, Lord;

Into God we're brought, and there, Lord,

Thine authority we share, Lord;

      What an honored place!

 

 12 

Thou our Hope and our Redemption,

Thou wilt change our old creation,

Make of Thee a duplication,

      Thus Thyself express.

 

 13 

Thou our Joy, our Peace, our Glory;

Truth, and Grace, the Rock, the Life-tree,

Building, Mountain, Sun, and Shield — we

      Ne'er can tell it all.

 

 14 

What Thou art — eternal, boundless,

Full and perfect, rich, exhaustless —

Meets our need to utter fullness

      And from us o'erflows.
