The Church the vessel is to Christ
1
|
The Church the vessel is to Christ, Him to contain and Him express, Just as the human body doth Man’s life show forth, his life possess. |
2
|
As was the temple to the ark, Receptacle and resting-place; So Christ the Church’s content is, And in the Church, Christ’s dwelling-place. |
3
|
As Christ is God’s true mystery, God to explain and God express; So is the Church Christ’s mystery, Christ to explain and manifest. |

|
The members of the Church of Christ Are all primarily of clay; They need to be transformed and made Transparent, precious day by day. |
5
|
By transformation they are built, A vessel they to Christ afford; His all-inclusiveness they hold; Transparent, they express the Lord. |
6
|
Thru all the transformation work The triune God performs in them, The Church a corporate vessel is And like the new Jerusalem. |
7
|
How precious she in each respect, Transparent too in every phase; Christ with God’s fulness she contains, Christ with God’s glory she displays. |
8
|
With Christ as life, with God as light, And with the Spirit’s living flow, The triune God she manifests For all the universe to know. |
