My gracious Lord, in Thee!
Not seen, nor heard, nor e’er conceived
What Thou hast done for me!
Thou art divine, mysterious,
Beyond my grandest phrase!
Redemption is so marvellous,
Beyond all pow’r to praise!
Glorious, new creation is!
Eternal effectiveness!
Full worthy of our praise!
And blood and water streamed;
That life divine be giv’n to us,
That we may be redeemed.
Thy precious blood has made us clean,
That we accepted be;
Regenerated by Thy life,
We now are one with Thee.
The many grains to bear,
Which, blent and formed, Thy Body are.
And all Thy nature share.
We are the increase of Thyself,
And Thou our content art;
Through us Thou livest and dost move
And manifested art.
And settle down in us;
In us Thou may obtain Thy home
And we become Thy trust.
Thy heart to satisfy and please,
We are Thy counterpart,
Now in one Body with Thyself,
Enjoying all Thou art.
And here the symbols see,
For Thy redemption great and full
We’re filled with praise to Thee.
Since we are made Thy Body, Lord,
Thy dwelling place and bride,
We would give thanks and worship Thee
And in Thy praise abide.
