1  The Lord has been revealed in us,

    The kingdom-seed so glorious;

    He's planted deeper than our heart,

    And from us He will ne'er depart.

    This seed is never satisfied

    Just in our spirits to abide;

    He wants to grow and spread today

    To live in us in every way.

 2  We're like a glove, an empty man,

    So meaningless without a hand;

    Lord, saturate each inward part

    And form Yourself in all our heart.

    The Lord must spread into our mind,

    Our natural thoughts and concepts bind;

    Imaginations, dreams be gone,

    The kingdom-seed in us is sown!

 3  In our emotions He must grow;

    Raw, fragile feelings overthrow;

    Our love, our hatred, must be His —

    Lord, we agree with You for this.

    Another part the Lord must fill —

    Our hard, unbending, stubborn will;

    Lord, our resistance quickly break,

    Subdue us for Thy kingdom's sake.

 4  Our conscience too the Lord must clear,

    That we may walk in godly fear;

    Our conscience must be keen today,

    Else we cannot the Lord obey.

    'Tis by His growing, spreading thus,

    The Lord will have His home in us;

    A place on earth where He is Lord,

    Full rights to Him we will afford.
