Christ is the center, Christ is everything;
’Tis not for form nor doctrine good and true,
But ’tis for Christ alone we’re gathering.

Of Him we drink and we with Him are fed.

’Tis in His Name we meet, in Spirit act,
With nothing in our mind to formalize;
’Tis by His pow’r we pray, in unction praise,
And with Himself in spirit exercise.

All things forgetting, cleaving unto Christ,
Applying Him until maturity;
Let us count everything but loss for Him,
For Him, our All in all, eternally.
