739  VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE INNER LIFE — The Inner Knowledge

1. In those regenerated by the Lord
  There is an inner knowledge bountiful;
  Thus we the outward teachings do not need,
  But God we inwardly may know in full.
2. Eternal life, the highest and the best,
  Possesses full divine capacity,
  That by this life God's knowledge we may have
  More than by knowledge given outwardly.
3. The law of life is put within our mind
  And on our heart 'tis written sovereignly,
  Inwardly ruling us that God we know
  More than by teachings given outwardly.
4. Holy anointing in our spirit dwells,
  Showing the things of God to mind and heart;
  By this anointing we God's knowledge have
  More than man's teachings can to us impart.
5. We have the triune God indwelling us,
  Living and acting, working all the time,
  That by the inner sense we have of Him
  God we may know in magnitude sublime.
6. This inner knowledge obviates the need
  Of outward knowledge, human eloquence,
  But in the spirit we must ever live
  And walk according to the inner sense.
7. The more we live in Christ, the life divine,
  And by the inner consciousness behave,
  The more we'll have the inward knowledge true,
  And on our heart God will His Son engrave.
8. 'Tis by this living inward knowledge gained
  That fellowship with God in life we hold;
  'Tis by this hidden knowledge thus obtained
  God unto us His fulness doth unfold.
