God has called us for His purpose

God has called us for His purpose

His economy so glorious

For which He was fully processed;

Consummated now is He!

As the Spirit

He indwells us;

As our God allotted portion

Working out His full salvation

Making us the same as He is.

Oh

may a clear

controlling vision of

The Lord’s economy direct my heart

And burn in me until my spirit’s wholly set afire!

With spirit strong and active we’ll press on

To consummate God’s goal—

New Jerusalem

Hallelujah!

Jesus lived the God-man pattern

Set the way for us to follow

He denied His natural man and

Was obedient unto death

Once He was the only God-man;

Now we are His duplication.

As the many grains we’re blended

As His corporate reproduction.

Living out His resurrection

Dying to the flesh and soul-life.

Living by the mingled spirit

Natural man we will deny.

Now we’re living in the Body

Every day we’re overcoming

Striving for the peak of Zion

Watching for our Lord’s appearing.

God and man will have one living

Always in the mingled spirit;

We two are incorporated

One organic entity!

This the vision of the ages

Will control our daily living

That the Lord may have His Body

Shining as the holy city.
