1  Dear Lord, Thou art the Word of God,

       Thou art God's very Son;

    Thou art His holy image true,

       And with Him ever one.

 2  Thou art Thyself the very God,

       Thou dost embody Him;

    In Thee is manifested God,

       And we see God therein.

 3  Effulgence of God's glory, Thou,

       By Thee God shines on us;

    Expression of His substance, Thou,

       In Thee He's real to us.

 4  In Thee God is the life to us,

       In Thee He is the light;

    In Thee His nature we partake

       And with Him we unite.

 5  In Thee the grace of God subsists,

       God we enjoy in Thee;

    His truth in Thee is also found,

       His full reality.

 6  In Thee God's fulness we receive,

       Which fills from grace to grace;

    In Thee with God we're mingled here,

       Till one in every phase.

 7  O Lord our God, we worship Thee,

       In Thee we have our all;

    Thyself we treasure in our heart,

       Thy Name we love to call.
