The life of God eternal manifest;
’Tis uncreated, indestructible,
’Tis Christ Himself, unconqu’rable, expressed.
Though all its force against it may combine;
Death only gives it opportunity
To show the boundless pow’r of life divine.
The more interred, the more it multiplies;
All kinds of suff’ring only help it grow
And fruits of life abundant realize.
Thru every block and barrier it breaks;
Conqu’ring the pow’r of darkness and of hell,
It swallows death and victory partakes.
All of God’s fullness it will manifest;
God’s righteousness and holiness it yields,
His glorious image by it is expressed.
In every kind of death its pow’r outpoured,
In my experience ever realize
This life is nought but Christ my living Lord.
