O how glorious! O how holy

O how glorious! O how holy!

God is the eternal life!

Full

unlimited

and pow’rful

Pure

and merciful

and bright!

In this life are all His riches

All His nature

love and light.

O how loving! O how gracious!

God Himself is life to man!

He in man hath made a spirit

That He might fulfill His plan.

’Tis His heart’s delight and longing

E’er to be received by man.

O what love and grace unbounded!

God as life to man doth flow!

He no more is hid in secret

But Himself to man doth show

First in flesh and then as Spirit

That His life all men may know.

How approachable! How near us!

God in Christ our life to be!

Christ is God in flesh incarnate

Manifest for man to see.

Died and risen

now He enters

Into man

his life to be.

O what wonder! As the Spirit

God as life to man is shown!

’Tis His other transformation

He as Spirit thus is known;

Men convicting and inspiring

He within them makes His home.

O how glorious! O how precious!

Thus the triune God to know!

First the Father in the Son came

Now the Son as Spirit flows.

When in man the Spirit enters

God as life He doth bestow.

How mysterious

yet how real!

God Himself now flows in me!

In my heart

with me in oneness

He has come my life to be.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I will praise unceasingly!
