It’s by our mingled spirit, Lord

It’s by our mingled spirit

Lord

That we can shine with Thee

And be a golden lampstand now

For all the world to see.

It’s not by forms or rituals

Mere Christianity;

It’s by our Christ enjoyed as life

We all can shine with Thee.

The burning Christ has feet as brass

Which in the furnace burns

His eyes are as a flame of fire—

’Tis to this Christ we turn!

How could we ever lukewarm be

When on His face we gaze?

O Lord

we give ourselves to You

To set us all ablaze!

The seven golden lampstands in

The seven cities see

So burning

shining with this Christ

It’s God’s economy!

We’re absolute that this become

Our full reality

Upon the earth

within the church

In each locality.
