O Lord Jesus, Thy redeemed ones
Verse 1
O Lord Jesus, Thy redeemed ones Are Thy Body and Thy Bride; As Thy fulness, Thine expression, In her Thou art glorified. Thou, her all in all forever, She Thy riches doth declare; Thou dost fully saturate her And Thy glory with her share.
Chorus
Lo, the holy city, Full of God's bright glory! It is God's complete expression In humanity.
Verse 2
God with man completely blended, Mystery of godliness, God in glory, full, resplendent, Man, His dwelling, doth express. ' Tis a vessel universal All God's fulness to express. All His beauty manifesting, Mingled with His holiness.
Verse 3
' Tis a living composition Of the saints He hath transformed; As the pearls and stones most precious, To His image they're conformed: From the throne of God, its center, Flows the living water free; Christ the tree of life doth flourish, Bearing fruit abundantly.
Verse 4
' Tis th' eternal golden lampstand, Holding Christ, the lamp of light; God in Christ the light of glory As the Spirit shineth bright! ' Tis the ultimate expression- Man in God and God in man; ' Tis their mutual habitation, Goal of God's eternal plan.
