Hymn Context Compare
To have Christ revealed in me,
But the letters always slay.
That God in Christ may be expressed.
Never by self to strive.
start
Not a doctrine that I’ve heard,
Oneness is not unity,
With God’s inheritance in view.
There is an inner knowledge bountiful;
Brings us into light.
A great religion of the world
Producing reality.
In God’s recovery, we don’t know so much.
We should not walk by sight
In our soul by His own life.
As the branches of the grapevine
Naught of natural strength avails,
Cause me to be strong inwardly,
As Spirit now my Comforter.
Walking with the Lord—what sweetness!

outward

But His Christ within to be.
But what’s from the inmost part;
The Spirit is confined within;
But transformed inwardly,
With every trial yet further I fall.
That can meet your need and wash your feet,
But a life within—
That man a world-sense may possess;
But God we inwardly may know in full.
Fellowship we keep;
Including pagan, evil things,
Lord, do grant us visions and a trance:
Cease from all your working now, begin again to EAT.
Rather, in this wonderful faith
Doth the Lord transform our soul,
With it one, abiding, bearing
Even labor’s profit fails,
That I in spirit pow’rful be.
For inward union worthier.
