O Lord Jesus, Thy redeemed ones

   Are Thy Body and Thy Bride;

As Thy fulness, Thine expression,

   In her Thou art glorified.

Thou, her all in all forever,

   She Thy riches doth declare;

Thou dost fully saturate her

   And Thy glory with her share.

 2 

God with man completely blended,

   Mystery of godliness,

God in glory, full, resplendent,

   Man, His dwelling, doth express.

'Tis a vessel universal

   All God's fulness to express;

All His beauty manifesting,

   Mingled with His holiness.

 3 

'Tis a living composition

   Of the saints He hath transformed;

As the pearls and stones most precious,

   To His image they're conformed:

From the throne of God, its center,

   Flows the living water free;

Christ the tree of life doth flourish,

   Bearing fruit abundantly.

 4 

'Tis th' eternal golden lampstand,

   Holding Christ, the lamp of light;

God in Christ the light of glory

   As the Spirit shineth bright!

'Tis the ultimate expression —

   Man in God and God in man;

'Tis their mutual habitation,

   Goal of God's eternal plan.
