The Lord of all has shown His plan

The Lord of all has shown His plan

Unto each faithful one

Who leaves behind the worldly things

As virgins for His Son.

To be His Bride we must match Him

Within and outwardly;

To be this one who matches Him

Enjoy Him constantly.

Like virgins who so single are

They love the Groom so much

They in His presence ever stay—

Lord Jesus

make us such.

Lord

make us those who are so wise

Who gain You every day

The wise ones who enjoy the feast

Who all the price will pay.

The virgins are mature in life

They grow so normally.

They daily eat and drink the Lord

Their lot eternally.

Our need today is growth in life

Christ’s inward work indeed;

Not knowledge

teachings

gifts

nor pow’r—

But life is all we need.

Lord

as the seed of life within

Grow more in us each day;

By spreading from our deepest part

Gain us in every way.

Lord

strengthen Thou our inner man;

Make home in all our heart.

Fill us completely with Thyself

In every inward part.
