Thou art the Word and Spirit, Lord

Thou art the Word and Spirit

Lord;

Now in one spirit worship we;

’Tis by the Word we understand

And in the Spirit contact Thee.

Since Thou with me hast joined in one

Thou art my all

O Lord

thereby;

And as the Spirit and the Word

Thou cam’st to me as my supply.

If Thou art Lord

yet not the Word

How couldest Thou be known to me?

If Thou art God yet Spirit not

How could I ever contact Thee?

The Word reveals Thyself to me

And knowledge of Thyself imparts;

The Spirit is Thy substance true

Whereby I touch Thee as Thou art.

Thou art my life

my light

my way

My food

my strength and guaranty;

By Word made known

as Spirit these

Become experience to me.

Thy Word in Scripture is expressed

Thy Spirit

the Indwelling One;

Thy Word is spirit and is life

When to my spirit it doth come.

If I Thy Word would understand

I must Thy Holy Spirit touch;

Not only grasp it with my mind

But with my spirit

praying much.

Thy precious Word my heart doth love

My spirit fellowships with Thine;

My heart rejoices in Thy Word

My spirit praises sings in Thine.
