1. Dear Lord, Thou art the Word of God,
  Thou art God's very Son;
  Thou art His holy image true,
  And with Him ever one.
  
2. Thou art Thyself the very God,
  Thou dost embody Him;
  In Thee is manifested God,
  And we see God therein.
  
3. Effulgence of God's glory, Thou,
  By Thee God shines on us;
  Expression of His substance, Thou,
  In Thee He's real to us.
  
4. In Thee God is the life to us,
  In Thee He is the light;
  In Thee His nature we partake
  And with Him we unite.
  
5. In Thee the grace of God subsists,
  God we enjoy in Thee;
  His truth in Thee is also found,
  His full reality.
  
6. In Thee God's fulness we receive,
  Which fills from grace to grace;
  In Thee with God we're mingled here,
  Till one in every phase.
  
7. O Lord our God, we worship Thee,
  In Thee we have our all;
  Thyself we treasure in our heart,
  Thy Name we love to call.
