1. God's eternal purpose
  Is to join with man,
  Causing man, His vessel,
  To be born again,
  His own life imparting,
  Filling to the brim;
  Man may thus express Him,
  And be filled with Him.
2. God in His own image
  Hath created man,
  That he may be able
  To fulfill His plan;
  That he may receive Him
  As the tree of life
  To become His fulness
  As to man the wife.
3. In His life's rich flowing
  Man will be transformed
  Into precious substance
  And to Him conformed.
  Thus will man be builded
  As His counterpart,
  Thus to be His dwelling,
  Satisfy His heart.
4. 'Tis the holy city,
  New Jerusalem;
  With His saints God mingles,
  Makes His home with them.
  He becomes their content,
  His expression they;
  They shall share His glory,
  One with Him for aye.
5. He's the very centre,
  Ruling on the throne;
  By His life the power,
  Saints are kept in one.
  By His light of glory,
  They are kept in light,
  Harmony enjoying in divine delight.
6. He's their living water,
  And their food supply;
  All their thirst and hunger
  He doth satisfy.
  He's for them the temple,
  In Himself they live,
  In His constant presence
  Worship ever give.
