The creatures four from Christ have life

The creatures four from Christ have life;

No independence do they know

For through the cross of Christ their life

The corporate form of Christ does show.

Coordinated do they move;

Commissioned by His hand.

Their steps the same

as one they move

And thus His reign expand.

God’s grace is to the uttermost

No more on self do they rely;

God is their shield

the Lord’s their boast

The Lord alone they glorify.

In uprightness and purity

In spirit meek

with humble heart

They follow where the Spirit leads

And from the self’s desires depart.

United firmly

fitly joined—

Perfecting one another thus.

In oneness as they move conjoined

They match God’s vision glorious.

While blending

holy fire bright

All filth

all mixture burns away.

This holy flame becomes their light

That all their move bright gleams display.

Accompanied by God’s great wheel

They move beneath a crystal sky;

The throne of God becomes so real

Christ’s glorious image shines thereby.
