In those regenerated by the Lord

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: Edward John Hopkins

In those regenerated by the Lord

There is an inner knowledge bountiful;

Thus we the outward teachings do not need

But God we inwardly may know in full.

Eternal life

the highest and the best

Possesses full divine capacity

That by this life God’s knowledge we may have

More than by knowledge given outwardly.

The law of life is put within our mind

And on our heart ’tis written sovereignly

Inwardly ruling us that God we know

More than by teachings given outwardly.

Holy anointing in our spirit dwells

Showing the things of God to mind and heart;

By this anointing we God’s knowledge have

More than man’s teachings can to us impart.

We have the triune God indwelling us

Living and acting

working all the time

That by the inner sense we have of Him

God we may know in magnitude sublime.

This inner knowledge obviates the need

Of outward knowledge

human eloquence

But in the spirit we must ever live

And walk according to the inner sense.

The more we live in Christ

the life divine

And by the inner consciousness behave

The more we’ll have the inward knowledge true

And on our heart God will His Son engrave.

’Tis by this living inward knowledge gained

That fellowship with God in life we hold;

’Tis by this hidden knowledge thus obtained

God unto us His fulness doth unfold.
