O Lord Jesus, Thy redeemed ones

O Lord Jesus

Thy redeemed ones

Are Thy Body and Thy Bride;

As Thy fulness

Thine expression

In her Thou art glorified.

Thou

her all in all forever

She Thy riches doth declare;

Thou dost fully saturate her

And Thy glory with her share.

Lo

the holy city

Full of God’s bright glory!

It is God’s complete expression

In humanity.

God with man completely blended

Mystery of godliness.

God in glory

full

resplendent

Man

His dwelling

doth express.

’Tis a vessel universal

All God’s fulness to express;

All His beauty manifesting

Mingled with His holiness.

’Tis a living composition

Of the saints He hath transformed;

As the pearls and stones most precious

To His image they’re conformed:

From the throne of God

its center

Flows the living water free;

Christ the tree of life doth flourish

Bearing fruit abundantly.

’Tis th’ eternal golden lampstand

Holding Christ

the lamp of light;

God in Christ the light of glory

As the Spirit shineth bright!

’Tis the ultimate expression—

Man in God and God in man;

’Tis their mutual habitation

Goal of God’s eternal plan.
