| How all-inclusive, Lord, Thou art;
|
| Of God we are in Thee —
|
| The portion God prepared for us,
|
| Our all in all to be.
|
| Thou art to us God’s wisdom true,
|
| We all are saved through Thee;
|
| Thou art God’s only way to save,
|
| Thou art our only plea.
|
| Thou art to us our righteousness,
|
| All God requires to meet;
|
| In Thee we all are justified,
|
| In Thee we are complete.
|
| Thou art to us our holiness
|
| That we may be transformed;
|
| In Thee we all are sanctified,
|
| To Thee we’ll be conformed.
|
| Thou art to us redemption too,
|
| That we Thy likeness bear;
|
| Transfigured will our bodies be
|
| Thy liberty to share.
|
| Dear Lord, while we remember Thee,
|
| Enjoying all Thou art,
|
| We thus would hasten Thy return
|
| And ne’er from Thee depart.
|
| How sweet to have this foretaste here,
|
| A taste so wonderful,
|
| Yet still we fain would be with Thee,
|
| And share Thyself in full. |
