Be glorified Lord Jesus
The church expresses you Lord Jesus
So the Church, of many Christians,
Christ doth multiply,
Him expressing as one Body,
God to glorify.
Amen
Rochester, MN, United States
Thus the church and Christ together,
God’s great mystery,
Is the mingling of the Godhead
With humanity.
Hallelujah..!!! Amen Amen
Bellingham, WA, United States
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
London, United Kingdom
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.
