The Lord has been revealed in us

The Lord has been revealed in us

The kingdom-seed so glorious;

He’s planted deeper than our heart

And from us He will ne’er depart.

This seed is never satisfied

Just in our spirits to abide;

He wants to grow and spread today

To live in us in every way.

We’re like a glove

an empty man

So meaningless without a hand;

Lord

saturate each inward part

And form Yourself in all our heart.

The Lord must spread into our mind

Our natural thoughts and concepts bind;

Imaginations

dreams be gone

The kingdom-seed in us is sown!

In our emotions He must grow;

Raw

fragile feelings overthrow;

Our love

our hatred

must be His—

Lord

we agree with You for this.

Another part the Lord must fill—

Our hard

unbending

stubborn will;

Lord

our resistance quickly break

Subdue us for Thy kingdom’s sake.

Our conscience too the Lord must clear

That we may walk in godly fear;

Our conscience must be keen today

Else we cannot the Lord obey.

’Tis by His growing

spreading thus

The Lord will have His home in us;

A place on earth where He is Lord

Full rights to Him we will afford.
