How all-inclusive, Lord, Thou art

How all-inclusive

Lord

Thou art;

Of God we are in Thee—

The portion God prepared for us

Our all in all to be.

Thou art to us God’s wisdom true

We all are saved through Thee;

Thou art God’s only way to save

Thou art our only plea.

Thou art to us our righteousness

All God requires to meet;

In Thee we all are justified

In Thee we are complete.

Thou art to us our holiness

That we may be transformed;

In Thee we all are sanctified

To Thee we’ll be conformed.

Thou art to us redemption too

That we Thy likeness bear;

Transfigured will our bodies be

Thy liberty to share.

Dear Lord

while we remember Thee

Enjoying all Thou art

We thus would hasten Thy return

And ne’er from Thee depart.

How sweet to have this foretaste here

A taste so wonderful

Yet still we fain would be with Thee

And share Thyself in full.
