Christ to minister is service
  Both to God and others too,
Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,
  Off'ring Him as service true.
 
Christ to minister is service
  Both to God and others too,
Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,
    Off'ring Him as service true.
2
As the Israelites did offer
  From the surplus of their land,
Thus some produce reaped of Jesus
  Must be in our serving hand.
3
We on Christ, as land, must labor,
  Harvest Him for all our fare;
Tasting Him to overflowing,
  Christ with others we may share.
4
Holding Christ, as members growing,
  Each his function must observe;
Christ receiving, Christ partaking,
  To His Body Christ we serve.
5
Fellowship and testimony,
  Ministry and worship too,
In all helps and ministrations
  Christ is all our service true.

Christ is so enjoyable as we read his Word, fellowship with Him in prayer and sing in praise to Him. In our daily life as we continue to experience Him or in the meetings we should flow out our enjoyment of our precious Lord Jesus with all those around us. See similar hymns 1168- Laboring on Jesus, and 864- Let us experience Christ.

In this hymn we are encouraged to minister Christ, supply Christ, offer Christ, labour on Christ, share Christ, hold Christ, serve Christ, harvest Christ, taste Christ, receive and partake of Christ. Christ is everything to us. Hallelujah, Christ is all in all!

Concerning Christ to Minister Is Service / Both to God and Others Too in Stanza 1 of Hymn #659 in Chinese

The criticizers argue that it is correct to speak of ministering Christ to others but that it is problematic to speak of ministering Christ to God. When we say, "Christ to minister is service / Both to God and others too" in hymn #659 in Chinese (Hymns, #912 in English), we mean that we serve God by offering Christ to Him, according to the last line of the chorus: "OfF'ring Him as service true." This, again, is revealed through a type. In the Old Testament God wanted the priests to serve Him through the offerings. The offerings that the priests offered to God all typify Christ, and some of these offerings were "food" offered to God; they were for God's enjoyment. God called them "offerings" (Num. 28:2; Lev. 3:11). Some were offered as food for man's enjoyment (7:15-16). This typifies that when we, the New Testament priests, serve God today, we should serve by offering Christ as the offerings. The Christ whom we offer should be food for God's enjoyment and also food for our enjoyment. In this way our service is not only ministering Christ to man but also ministering Christ to God. It is not wrong to say that service is to minister Christ to God. Most people see only that we should serve God by Christ; they do not see that we should minister to God with Christ. However, this is revealed in the Bible. Our service should truly minister to God with Christ for God's satisfaction and also minister to man with Christ for man's satisfaction.
