Our hearts are overflowing
To speak a goodly thing—
To tell what we’ve experienced
Of our exalted King.
Our tongues as pens are ready,
We’ve volumes here to “write”—
The glories of our Bridegroom,
Our Lord and our delight.

Lord Jesus, Thou art fairer
Than all the sons of men;
Thy goodness is transcendent—
Hallelujah! Amen!
Upon Thy lips most holy
Abundant grace is poured;
Forever God has blessed Thee,
Our gracious, glorious Lord!

Thou art the mighty Warrior
Who rides to victory;
In Thy majestic glory
Ride on triumphantly!
The peoples fall beneath Thee—
The conquering One Thou art.
Thine arrows in their sharpness
Have entered Satan’s heart!

Thy throne, O God, forever
And ever shall endure;
The sceptre of Thy kingdom
Upon the earth is sure.
’Tis with the oil of gladness
God has anointed Thee
Above all Thy companions—
How worthy there to be!
And ever shall endure;
The sceptre of Thy kingdom
Upon the earth is sure.
’Tis with the oil of gladness
God has anointed Thee
Above all Thy companions—
How worthy there to be!

Of aloes, myrrh, and cassia
Do all Thy garments smell:
Thy death and resurrection
Do all Thy deeds forthtell.
Out of the local churches
Shall praises make Thee glad,
And praises upon praises
Thy joyful saints shall add.

PRAYER AND THE EXERCISE OF THE SPIRIT
As we receive such a heavenly transmission from the Lord, we not only receive the riches of Christ, but we also experience His fullness. This means we are filled to the brim. The fullness is related to the riches. However, we may have the riches without the fullness. Whether or not the riches of Christ become the fullness to us depends on whether or not we are filled with these riches to the limit of our capacity. If the riches exceed the demand, the riches are the fullness. But if they are less than the demand, they obviously are not the fullness. The riches of Christ, being universally extensive, are never less than the demand. Whatever may be our capacity to receive, the riches of Christ will exceed our capacity. The riches are always able to fill us to overflowing. A certain man may be very rich, even a billionaire. But if his wealth is only sufficient to give one dollar to every person on earth, his riches cannot be regarded as fullness. He does not have sufficient riches to make everyone abundantly wealthy. The riches of Christ, however, are universally extensive. They are sufficient to fill everyone to his capacity.
