The Spirit’s great cloud and hallowing fire
Show God’s nature, divine and bright;
From this comes the life the creatures receive
To show forth God to all man’s sight.

The likeness of Christ they live out each day,
Manifest His full glory bright;
In life like a man, in strength like a lion,
In toil, an ox, with eagle’s flight.

Straight forward each step, discerningly move;
Living, fresh, in resplendence, bright,
They’ve passed through God’s fire, been tempered, refined,
To be man’s judgment and his light.

Restrained not by earth, through God do they soar,
Yet still working in human form,
With God as their cov’ring, Christ as their boast,
Expressing God, not self, their norm.

By Christ’s grace and pow’r, they’re joined and attuned;
As each functions, no turn they need.
Like coals do they burn, like torches they shine;
They flash with every move and deed.

By walking in Spirit, they have God’s move
High and awesome, with visions full;
Christ moves in their move, His holy face shows;
They move as one in Spirit full.

Christ moves in their move, His holy face shows;
They move as one in Spirit full.

With sky crystal clear, and conscience at peace,
They all speak, listen quietly;
They speak as one man to thus God express
And rout in full God’s enemy.

With throne in the heav’ns, what heavenly view:
Christ is reigning as man on high;
He’s bright as pure gold, as holy as fire,
Surrounded by a rainbowed sky.
