1  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.
