As the body is the fulness
|
1
|
As the body is the fulness To express our life, So to Christ the Church, His Body, Doth express His life. |
|
2
|
E’en as Eve is part of Adam Taken out of him, So the Church is Christ’s own increase With Himself within. |
|
3
|
As from out the buried kernel Many grains are formed, As the grains together blended To a loaf are formed; |
|
4
|
So the Church, of many Christians, Christ doth multiply, Him expressing as one Body, God to glorify. |
|
5
|
As the branches of the grapevine Are its outward spread, With it one, abiding, bearing Clusters in its stead; |
|
6
|
So the Church’s many members Christ’s enlargement are, One with Him in life and living, Spreading Him afar. |

Fulness, increase, duplication, His expression full, Growth and spread, continuation, Surplus plentiful, |

Is the Church to Christ, and thereby God in Christ may be Glorified thru His redeemed ones To eternity. |

Thus the Church and Christ together, God’s great mystery, Is the mingling of the Godhead With humanity. |

Thus the church and Christ together,
God’s great mystery,
Is the mingling of the Godhead
With humanity.

What a glorious hymn conveying the truth of living Christ, who is the mystery of God (Col. 2:2), through the members of His Body, the church as the mystery of Christ (Eph. 3:4), and manifesting God's likeness through people on this earth which is the mystery of Godliness (1Tim. 3:16)! What a wonder! Obviously, the author of this hymn experienced the reality of living Christ and I am so grateful he was led by the Spirit to compose this hymn and pass it on to us. Thanks Lord

What a glorious hymn leading my spirit to soar! What a reality! What a prayer. The mystery of Christ is the church! You delight in us as Your expression and expansion. Oh what a mystery, and we are part of it. May we express your Godliness, may we bear fruit for you Lord.
