That His Son should have pre-eminence in all,
That in His dear Son He might be glorified
Midst all His creation, either great or small.

Of His great redemption and salvation full;

1. O Word of God incarnate,

O Light of our dark sky,
We praise Thee for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.

Received the gift divine,
And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine:

Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3. It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world;

That, o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands
Still guide, O Christ, to Thee.
4. O make Thy Church, dear Savior,
A lampstand of pure gold,
To bear before the nations
Thy light, that all behold;
O teach Thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,

Sa Salita'y pagkaing kay yaman,
Espiritu'y tubig na nakamtan.
O Panginoon, samo'y dinggin,
Gutom at uhaw, Iyong pawiin;
Tuwa't kalakasan, Iyong lubusin,
Pagtatamasa'y mapasa 'kin.
4. Pagkain Kang bumaba sa langit,
Naging inumin sa dusa't sakit;
Bilang pagkain, yaman Kang tustos,
Bilang inumin, batis Kang lubos.
O Panginoon, samo'y dinggin,
Gutom at uhaw, Iyong pawiin;
Tuwa't kalakasan, Iyong lubusin,
Pagtatamasa'y mapasa 'kin.
5. Sa Salita'y Espiritu't buhay,
Aking pagkain upang mabuhay;
Espiritu'y sa 'kin nananahan,
Sa espiritu Siya'y nakakamtan.
O Panginoon, samo'y dinggin,
Gutom at uhaw, Iyong pawiin;
Tuwa't kalakasan, Iyong lubusin,
Pagtatamasa'y mapasa 'kin.
6. Nang matamasa'y lalapit sa Iyo,
Sa Salita Mo'y kakain ako;
Sa espiritu'y babaling sa Iyo,
Upang uhaw ko'y matugunan Mo.
O Panginoon, samo'y dinggin,
Gutom at uhaw, Iyong pawiin;
Tuwa't kalakasan, Iyong lubusin,
Pagtatamasa'y mapasa 'kin.
7. Hesus, sa pag-inom ko't pagkain,
Sa pagbabasa't pananalangin;
Basa't dalangin, inom at kain,
O, Panginoon Ikaw ay akin.
O Panginoon, samo'y dinggin,
Gutom at uhaw, Iyong pawiin;
Tuwa't kalakasan, Iyong lubusin,
Pagtatamasa'y mapasa 'kin.
8. Ngayon Ika'y aking kagalakan,
Espiritu't Salita'y makamtan;
Nawa'y Ikaw palagi ang pista,
Kapuspusang aking matamasa.
O Panginoon, samo'y dinggin,
Gutom at uhaw, Iyong pawiin;
Tuwa't kalakasan, Iyong lubusin,
Pagtatamasa'y mapasa 'kin.

Still seeking after Thee,
Continue in the Word and prayer
Till Thou dost flow thru me.

In prayer to Thee I persevere;
As incense Thou the Spirit art
Mixed with the prayer I offer here.

That through me living rivers flow.

In Thee acceptance is complete;
I want to pray yet more and more,

By prayer my thirst is quenched indeed;
Thus Thou to me may be supplied,
And Thou through me may meet the need.
11. I long to have such fellowship,
To read and pray and blend with Thee;
I long that Thou wouldst saturate
Till Thou may overflow from me.

T813 (E813)
Ang Tagalog ay isinalin mula sa Chinese hymnal.
1. Sa trono ng biyaya Mo
Awa't tulong nakamit ko,
Kagyat kong kailangan ito
Sa puso at espiritu.

Puso ko ay inilawan,

Nilantad 'king kalagayan;

At pagsindi ng ilawan;
Espiritu langis tila,
Salita Mo'y tinanglawan.
6. Panalangin ko'y tulad ng
Saserdoteng nag-insenso,
May halong Kristong kamanyang,
Ihandog sa Diyos ang samyo.

Lalo kong basahin, kanin,
Mas may pahayag at tustos.

Nagpaangkop, nagpasigla,
Dalangin, inom na panay,
Samyo't agos naging bunga.

Mula sa 'kin umagos Ka.
STUDY OF THE WORD — FEEDING ON THE WORD
E814* (T814) (C-589)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. "Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by each word which doth proceed
From God's own mouth"; these we must eat
And let them be our life indeed.
2. Not just a body we were made,
But body, soul, and spirit too;
The inmost part the spirit is
To contact God and Him pursue.
3. Just as we need the earthly food
Our body's need to satisfy,
We need the food for spirit too —
Thyself, Thy Word, its true supply.
4. Thou art the Spirit, and Thy Word
Thy very Self expressed doth make;
Thus, it is Spirit as Thyself,
Which by our spirit we must take.
5. Thus, to receive Thy Word is not
To read it only with our eyes
And understand it in our mind,
But 'tis the spirit's exercise.
6. Thy Word in spirit we must eat
And to our inmost part receive;
'Tis by our spirit's exercise
To pray with what our minds perceive.
7. Thy Word remaining in our mind
Is only knowledge burdensome,
But when it to the spirit goes
Then life and spirit it becomes.
8. 'Tis only when our spirit acts
To take Thy Word and contact Thee,
We truly feed upon Thy Word
And touch Thyself most inwardly.
9. Lord, teach us how to exercise
Our spirit when Thy Word we read;
Then will our spirit nourished be
As thus upon Thyself we feed.

1. Tao'y di lang nabubuhay
Sa pagkain ng tinapay,
Kundi sa Salita ng Diyos,
Na siyang tunay nating buhay.
2. Tayo ay mayr'ong katawan,
Kaluluwa't espiritu;
'Spiritu'y pinakaloob,
Upang ang Diyos ay mahipo.
3. Kailangan nga ng katawan,
Ay pagkain na panlupa,
Kailangan din ng 'spiritu—
Iyong Sarili, Iyong Salita.
4. 'Spiritu Ka't Salita Mo,
Naghayag sa Sarili Mo,
Sarili Mo'y Espiritu,
Sa 'spiritu ko'y matamo.
5. Nang matanggap Iyong Salita,
'Di lang basahin ng mata
Ni sa isip maunawa,
Bagkus 'spiritu'y gumana.
6. Ang Salita ay kainin,
At tanggapin sa 'spiritu;
Natanto ay idalangin
Ensayuhin espiritu.
7. Ang Salitang nasa isip
Ay kaalamang pabigat,
Nguni't buhay at 'spiritu
Kung sa 'spiritu nalapat.
8. Tangi kung ang espiritu
Ay tatanggap ng Salita,
Salita Mo ay kakanin,
Sa panloob mahipo Ka.

Nang ako'y matustusan Mo.
STUDY OF THE WORD — THE WORD AND THE SPIRIT
E815* (T815) (C-590)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Christ is the Word and Spirit too,
And as the Spirit in the Word;
And all the words He speaks to us
Are life and spirit thus conferred.
2. The Holy Word we have without,
The Holy Spirit is within;
The greatest gifts divine are these,
That we may God enjoy therein.
3. The Word the Spirit doth express,
The Spirit its reality;
They're but two aspects of one thing
And should not separated be.
4. Whene'er the Spirit lights the Word
The Word becometh life to us;
When Word from Spirit is divorced,
'Tis empty mental stimulus.
5. When we the Word in spirit touch,
As life the Spirit it becomes;
The Spirit, when expressed from us,
As words of life to others comes.
6. Our spirit we must exercise
To take the Word most inwardly,
And then to give the Spirit forth;
The two as one with us should be.
7. Lord, may Thy Word in me become
The Spirit as my life supply,
And may Thy Spirit in Thy Word
My true expression be thereby.
PAG-AARAL NG SALITA — ANG SALITA AT ANG ESPIRITU
T815 (E815)
1. Espiritu at Salita
Ay kapwa si Kristo Mismo;
Ang salitang sinabi Niya
Ay buhay at espiritu.
2. Sa panlabas taglay Biblia,
Sa loob Espiritu nga;
Mga kaloob dakila,
Ng Diyos ating matamasa.
3. Salita hayag 'Spiritu,
Espiritu'ng realidad;
Dal'wang aspekto ng isa
At di dapat hiwalay nga.
4. Biblia'y naging buhay sa iyo,
Sa tanglaw ng Espiritu;
Kung dalawa'y magkalayo,
Sa isip lang pagkatanto.
5. Salita'y naging 'Spiritu,
Pag sa 'spiritu hinipo;
Hayag sa 'tin Espiritu
Buhay sa iba'y magtungo.
6. Sanayin ang espiritu,
Salita ng Diyos tanggapin,
At palayain 'Spiritu;
Ang dalawa'y ka-isa natin.
7. Nawa sa 'kin Iyong Salita,
Maging 'Spiritu't buhay nga;
'Spiritu Mo sa Salita,
Kahayagan kong tunay nga.
STUDY OF THE WORD — KNOWLEDGE AND LIFE
E816*
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. God's own Word must not be taken
Just as knowledge but as life,
Not alone God's thought conveying,
But Himself to us as life;
Not alone God's mind revealing,
But His Christ as life within,
Not alone the teaching giving,
But experience of Him.
2. It is only knowledge to us
If we in the letter read,
But when reading in the spirit
It is truly life indeed.
All the knowledge in the letter
Only brings us into death,
But the Word in spirit taken
Gives to us the quickening breath.
3. If we miss the Lord in Scripture,
It is just as knowledge vain;
But when Christ we touch within it,
Then His life we may obtain.
When we read, the Lord not touching,
'Tis but mental stimulus;
But when Christ we touch by reading,
It becometh life in us.
4. All the knowledge of the Scriptures
Into life must be transformed,
All the mental understanding
In the spirit must be formed;
All the Scriptural understanding
Must become the life received,
All the knowledge of the letters
In the spirit be conceived.
5. Just to touch the Word for knowledge
Is to take the very way
By which Eve was lured by Satan
And by knowledge led astray;
But as life to take the Scripture
Is the tree of life to eat;
Thus the Word we must be taking
In the spirit as our meat.
STUDY OF THE WORD — LIGHT AND TRUTH UNLIMITED
E817 (T817)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. We limit not the truth of God
To our poor reach of mind,
By notions of our day and sect,
Crude, partial and confined.
Now let a new and better hope
Within our hearts be stirred:
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His Word.
2. Who dares to bind by his dull sense
The oracles of heaven,
For all the nations, tongues and climes
And all the ages given!
The universe how much unknown!
That ocean unexplored!
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His Word.
3. Darkling our great forefathers went
The first steps of the way;
'Twas but the dawning yet to grow
Into the perfect day;
And grow it shall, our glorious Sun
More fervid rays afford:
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His Word.
4. The valleys past, ascending still,
Our souls would higher climb,
And look down from supernal heights,
On all the bygone times;
Upward we press, the air is clear,
And the sphere-music heard!
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His Word.
5. O Father, Son and Spirit, send
Us increase from above;
Enlarge, expand all Christian hearts
To comprehend Thy love;
And make us all go on to know
With nobler powers conferred:
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His Word.
PAG-AARAL NG SALITA — LIWANAG AT KATOTOHANAN NA WALANG LIMITASYON
T817 (E817)
1. Hindi dapat limitahan
Ang katotohanan,
Ng may pagkiling na sekta
Isipang may hangga.
Bago, mabuting pag-asa,
Puso'y mapasigla:
Liwanag, katotohanan
Higit pang bubuksan.
2. Ang orakulo ng langit,
Tinalian pilit,
Ng 'purol ng pang-unawa
Pangahas na aba!
Sansinukob at dagat man,
Hindi mapalugod!
Liwanag, katotohanan
Higit pang bubuksan.
3. Ninuno'y tinahak dilim
Sa unang hakbangin;
Hanggang liwayway tumanghal,
Sa araw na sakdal;
O araw na mal'walhati
Silay Mo titindi:
Liwanag, katotohanan
Higit pang bubuksan.
4. Dinaanan ang libis at,
Tayo ay paakyat,
Ating tingnan sa mataas,
Panahong lumipas;
Paakyat, hangin ay klaro,
Humihimig ugong!
Liwanag, katotohanan
Higit pang bubuksan.
5. O Ama, Anak, 'Spiritu,
Palawakin puso—
Maunawa pag-ibig Mo
Ng bawa't Kristiyano;
Dakilang lakas igawad
Patuloy malaman,
Liwanag, katotohanan
Higit pang bubuksan.
THE CHURCH — THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST
E818* (T818) (C-593)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Christ is the mystery of God;
God is invisible, unshown,
His image man hath never seen,
But Christ the Son hath made Him known.
2. Christ is the very Word of God,
He is God's explanation true;
God's full embodiment is He
And God's own image brings to view.
3. Image of God invisible,
Effulgence of God's glory fair;
God's fulness ever dwells in Him,
God's testimony He doth bear.
4. The Church, the myst'ry is of Christ,
For He is now to man unshown;
No man on earth may see Him now,
But thru the Church He is made known.
5. The Church is Christ's expression full,
In her Christ dwelleth bodily;
She is His duplication true,
And man in her Himself may see.
6. The Church the image has of Christ,
She is His increase and His spread;
Christ's very self is found in her,
The Body, she, to Christ the Head.
7. Thus, in the Son the Father is,
And now the Spirit is the Son;
The Spirit of the triune God
Is in the Church and with her one.
ANG EKKLESIA — ANG HIWAGA NI KRISTO
T818 (E818)
1. Si Kristo'y hiwaga ng Diyos;
Diyos, di-makita, di-hayag,
Wangis Niya'y di pa nakita,
Kristong Anak ang nagbunyag.
2. Siya'y Salita mismo ng Diyos,
Paliwanag ng Diyos tunay;
Pagsasakatawan ng Diyos,
At wangis ng Diyos nasilay.
3. Wangis ng Diyos di-makita,
Sinag kay inam ng gloria;
Kapuspusan nasa Kanya,
Patotoo ng Diyos dala.
4. Ang Ekklesia ay hiwaga,
Ni Kristo sa mga tao;
Di Siya makita ninuman,
Sa Ekklesia Siya'y natanto.
5. Ekklesia'y kahayagan Niya,
Kristo sa kanya'y nanahan;
Siya'y kopyang tunay ni Kristo,
Kristo sa kanya'y namasdan.
6. Wangis ni Kristo'y taglay niya,
Pagdami't paglawak din siya;
Kristo nakita sa kanya,
Kristo'y Ulo, Katawan siya.
7. Ang Ama ay nasa Anak,
Ang Anak ay Espiritu;
'Spiritu ng Tres-unong Diyos
Sa Ekklesia naihalo.
THE CHURCH — THE INCREASE OF CHRIST
E819* (T819) (C-594)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. As the body is the fulness
To express our life,
So to Christ the Church, His Body,
Doth express His life.
2. E'en as Eve is part of Adam
Taken out of him,
So the Church is Christ's own increase
With Himself within.
3. As from out the buried kernel
Many grains are formed,
As the grains together blended
To a loaf are formed;
4. So the Church, of many Christians,
Christ doth multiply,
Him expressing as one Body,
God to glorify.
5. As the branches of the grapevine
Are its outward spread,
With it one, abiding, bearing
Clusters in its stead;
6. So the Church's many members
Christ's enlargement are,
One with Him in life and living,
Spreading Him afar.
7. Fulness, increase, duplication,
His expression full,
Growth and spread, continuation,
Surplus plentiful,
8. Is the Church to Christ, and thereby
God in Christ may be
Glorified thru His redeemed ones
To eternity.
9. Thus the Church and Christ together,
God's great mystery,
Is the mingling of the Godhead
With humanity.
ANG EKKLESIA — ANG PAGDAMI NI KRISTO
T819 (E819)
1. Ang kapuspusan ng buhay
Ay ang katawan,
Kay Kristo nama'y Ekklesia,
Kahayagan Niya.
2. Eva kay Adam nagmula,
Siya'y bahagi niya,
Pagparami ni Kristo nga,
Kanyang Ekklesia.
3. Binungang trigo'y marami
Ng isang binhi,
At nabuong tinapay nga,
Nang pinagsama.
4. Kaya't si Kristo'y lumaki
Diyos nal'walhati,
Bilang Ekklesiang Katawan,
Siyang kahayagan.
5. Paglaganap ng puno nga
Ay mga sanga,
Sa puno ay manatili,
Bunga'y darami.
6. Ang mga sangkap ni Kristo,
Kanyang paglago,
Makipag-isa sa Kanya,
Palawakin Siya.
7. Kapuspusan at pagdami,
Kanyang paglaki;
Pagpapatuloy, tularan,
Siyang kahayagan!
8. Kay Kristo'y Ekklesia'y tangi,
Diyos mal'walhati;
Sa Kanyang mga tinubos,
'Hayag Siyang lubos.
9. Kaya dakilang hiwaga,
Kristo't Ekklesia,
Diyos at tao pinaghalo,
Nagkai-sang lalo.
Hymns
820 — 829
THE CHURCH — THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST
E820* (T820) (C-592)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Riches of Christ we should enjoy
And then His fulness we will be;
Partaking of His very self,
His testimony men will see.
2. Riches of Christ are what He is
To us who are His members true;
His fulness is what we become
As body doth to man accrue.
3. Riches of Christ are typified
By Canaan's produce rich and sweet,
With which the temple great was built,
The Church's greatest type replete.
4. As Eve to Adam fulness was,
So is the Church to Christ her Head;
As Eve from Adam's being came,
The Church by Christ's own life is bred.
5. Christ's riches are Himself within,
His fulness is the Church without,
As His expression, full of Him;
The Church with Christ is built throughout.
ANG EKKLESIA — ANG KAPUSPUSAN NI KRISTO
T820 (E820)
1. Yaman ni Kristo'y tamasa,
At maging kapuspusan Niya;
Makakain mo Siya Mismo,
Mahayag ang patotoo.
2. Yaman ni Kristo — Siya Mismo
Pagtatamasa natin Siya;
Gayon makamit ni Kristo
Kapuspusan Niyang ekklesia.
3. Sa Canaan, bunga't tubo,
Larawan ng yaman-Kristo,
Banal na templong 'tinayo,
Ekklesiang lago ni Kristo.
4. Adam, kapuspusa'y Eva,
Gayon Ekklesia kay Kristo;
Kay Adam buhat si Eva,
Ekklesia'y mula kay Kristo.
5. Kristo sa loob ko'y yaman,
Ekklesia ay kapuspusan,
Puspos Niya — siyang kahayagan;
Kristo, ekklesia'y buuan.
THE CHURCH — THE VESSEL OF CHRIST
E821* (T821) (C-595)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. The Church the vessel is to Christ,
Him to contain and Him express,
Just as the human body doth
Man's life show forth, his life possess.
2. As was the temple to the ark,
Receptacle and resting-place;
So Christ the Church's content is,
And in the Church, Christ's dwelling-place.
3. As Christ is God's true mystery,
God to explain and God express;
So is the Church Christ's mystery,
Christ to explain and manifest.
4. The members of the Church of Christ
Are all primarily of clay;
They need to be transformed and made
Transparent, precious day by day.
5. By transformation they are built,
A vessel they to Christ afford;
His all-inclusiveness they hold;
Transparent, they express the Lord.
6. Thru all the transformation work
The triune God performs in them,
The Church a corporate vessel is
And like the new Jerusalem.
7. How precious she in each respect,
Transparent too in every phase;
Christ with God's fulness she contains,
Christ with God's glory she displays.
8. With Christ as life, with God as light,
And with the Spirit's living flow,
The triune God she manifests
For all the universe to know.
ANG EKKLESIA — ANG SISIDLAN NI KRISTO
T821 (E821)
1. Ekklesia'y Kanyang sisidlan,
Maging Kanyang kahayagan,
Gaya'y katawan sa tao,
Tao'y hinahayag nito.
2. Gaya ng templo sa kaban,
Lunan ng kapahingahan;
Ekklesia'y Kanyang tirahan,
Si Kristo ang nilalaman.
3. Hiwaga ng Diyos si Kristo,
Paliwanag ng Diyos Mismo;
Ekklesia ay hiwaga Niya,
Hinayag, 'sinalita Siya.
4. Mga sangkap ng Katawan,
Dati-rati'y lupa lamang;
Sila'y dapat matransporma,
Maging batong mahalaga.
5. Sa transpormasyon na'tayo,
Sisidlan para kay Kristo;
Nilagyan yaman ni Kristo;
Lahat Niya'y hayag sa tao.
6. Tres-unong Diyos nagtulungan
Transpormasyon magampanan,
Ekklesia'y naging sisidlan
Herusalem ang tularan.
7. Kay halaga ng ekklesia,
Bawa't panig niya'y aninag;
Kristong puspos ng Diyos taglay,
Kristong nal'walhati'y hayag.
8. Diyos ang ilaw, Kristo'y buhay,
Espiritu'y daloy buhay,
Tres-unong Diyos hinayag niya,
Buong mundo'y mabatid nga.
THE CHURCH — THE LAMPSTAND OF CHRIST
E822* (T822) (C-596)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. The Church the lampstand is to Christ,
Christ is the lamp with God as light;
The light divine from Christ doth shine,
The Church upholds its glory bright.
2. The light which shines within the lamp
Is God as life, unique, divine;
The stand must therefore be of gold
To match the glory which doth shine.
3. Amid the darkness of this age
The light of life divine doth beam
In many centers of mankind
Where Jesus' testimony's seen.
4. To be this testimony pure
"First love" to Christ the church must keep;
Then from the "tree of life" she may
The overcomer's portion reap.
5. She must the persecution bear
That she the "crown of life" may gain;
Adult'ry spiritual o'ercome,
The "hidden manna" to obtain.
6. The deeds of "Jezebel" desert,
That she may rule the earth with might;
Defiling deadness overcome
To be arrayed in "garments white."
7. Like "Philadelphia" she must be
To keep Christ's word, confess His Name;
All "lukewarm" pride she must o'ercome
To feast with Him who overcame.
8. Thus will the Church be purified
To be the lampstand of pure gold,
To match the testimony pure,
The life of Jesus fit to hold.
9. The local churches here on earth
The lampstands in this age should be;
The glorious new Jerusalem
The lampstand in eternity.
10. The city as pure gold will be,
The final lampstand consummate;
Christ as the lamp she e'er will hold
And God's full light will radiate.
ANG EKKLESIA — ANG PATUNGAN-NG-ILAWAN NI KRISTO
T822 (E822)
1. Kay Kristo ang Ekklesia,
Patungan-ng-ilawan nga;
Kristo'y ilawan, Diyos ilaw,
Ekklesia'y hawak ang tanglaw.
2. Ilaw sa ilawan silay
Ang Diyos na dibinong buhay;
Patungan dapat na ginto
Tugma sa l'walhati nito.
3. Sa panahon ng dilim nga'y
Ilaw ng buhay sisilay
Sa mga sentro ng tao
Itanghal ang patotoo.
4. Bilang dalisay na saksi
Palagi "unang pag-ibig";
Sa "puno ng buhay" ani
Bahagi ng mandaraig.
5. Pag-usig dapat batahin
"Putong ng buhay" maangkin;
Ang Babilonia'y talunin,
Ang "tagong manna" tamuhin.
6. Gawa ni "Jezebel" takwil,
Nang lupa'y mapagharian;
Sitwasyong patay daigin
"Kasuotang puti" damtin.
7. Gayang "Filadelfia" siya
Hawakan Kanyang salita;
Ihayag Kanyang Pangalan
Kasama Niyang magpistahan.
8. Gayong mapadalisay siya,
Patungan-ng-ilawan nga,
Yaring dalisay na ginto,
Bilang patotoong puro.
9. Ekklesia lokal sa lupa
Patungan-ng-ilawan nga;
Bagong Herusalem naman,
Para sa kawalang-hanggan.
10. Ang lunsod na purong ginto,
Kahuliha't napasukdol;
Patungan-ng-ilawan din
Diyos at Kristo ay taglayin.
THE CHURCH — HER GENERAL DEFINITION
E823*
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1.
2. To the throne Christ has ascended,
Far above all rule and power;
God has made Him Head o'er all things
To the Church, His Body here.
All in all He ever filleth,
And His fulness is expressed
Through the Church, which is His Body
And His image manifests.
3. We, once dead in our offences,
Walking in the worldly course,
Lusts of flesh and mind fulfilling,
Satan and his hosts their source,
God with Christ has resurrected,
Seated in the heavenlies;
We, His masterpiece, created
In Christ Jesus, Him to please.
4. Jews and Gentiles are one body—
God His myst'ry has made known—
On apostles, prophets founded,
Jesus Christ the cornerstone;
We in Him are built together
For God's dwelling manifest,
Fitly framed by God the Spirit
For His pleasure and His rest.
5. In eternal ages purposed
That His wisdom be made known,
Was the Church, His hidden myst'ry,
Where the Son could make His home;
That the saints may all in spirit
Apprehend His boundlessness,
Know His love which passes knowledge,
All God's fulness to possess.
6. One in body, hope, and Spirit,
One in faith, one Lord, the Son,
One baptizing, with one Father,
That the Church may thus be one;
Christ to know in all His fulness,
Unto manhood be matured,
Ne'er by winds of doctrine carried,
Nor by cunning men allured.
7. Many gifts the Lord has given,
That His Body He may build,
That the saints may be perfected
And their ministry fulfilled.
Thus we must put off the old man
That we may put on the new;
Thus, renewed in mind and spirit,
We will bear God's image true.
8. Christ in love Himself has given
That the Church be sanctified,
Without blemish, spot, or wrinkle,
To become His glorious bride.
He does nourish her and cherish
As a man his body treats;
He and she become one body—
Thus the myst'ry very great.
9. Body, house, new man the Church is,
Bride, and temple, and yet more:
She's the army too which fighteth
All God's foe to triumph o'er.
She is clothed with all God's armor,
In His mighty strength is strong,
Standing in the Lord, resisting,
With all prayers she fighteth on.
THE CHURCH — HER GENERAL DEFINITION
E824* (T824) (C-598)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. The Church is Christ's own Body,
The Father's dwelling-place,
The gathering of the called ones,
God blended with man's race;
Elect before creation,
Redeemed by Calv'ry's death,
Her character and standing
Of heaven, not of earth.
2. New man of new creation,
Born through her risen Lord,
Baptized in God the Spirit,
Made holy by His Word;
Christ is her life and content,
Himself her glorious Head;
She has ascended with Him
O'er all her foes to tread.
3. Christ is her one foundation,
None other man may lay;
All that she has, as Christ, is
Divine in every way;
Her members through the Spirit
Their death on Calv'ry own;
They're built in resurrection—
Gold, silver, precious stone.
4. One God, one Lord, one Spirit—
Her elements all one—
One faith, one hope, one baptism,
One Body in the Son;
The triune God is in her,
One Body members own,
By faith they are united,
In hope of glory shown.
5. From every tribe and nation
Do all the members come,
Regardless of their classes
United to be one.
No high there is, nor lowly,
No Jew, nor Gentile clan,
No free, nor slave, nor master,
But Christ, the "one new man."
6. One Body universal,
One in each place expressed;
Locality of dwelling
Her only ground possessed;
Administration local,
Each answ'ring to the Lord;
Communion universal,
Upheld in one accord.
7. Her local gatherings model
The New Jerusalem;
Its aspects and its details
Must show in all of them.
Christ is the Lamp that shineth,
With God within, the Light;
They are the lampstands bearing
His glorious Image bright.
ANG EKKLESIA — KANYANG PANGKALAHATANG KAHULUGAN
T824 (E824)
1. Ang Ekklesia'y Katawan,
Sarili ni Kristo;
Sa Diyos Ama'y tahanan,
Samahan ng banal,
Hinalong Diyos at tao,
Hinirang pa ng Diyos;
Tinubos sa Kalbaryo
Makalangit lubos.
2a. Ang muling-pagkabuhay
Ni Kristo'y nagsilang,
Ng isang bagong tao,
At bagong nilalang;
Sa kanya'y nagbautismo
Ang Diyos Espiritu;
Si Kristo'y kanyang buhay
Mal'walhating Ulo.
2b. Siya rin ay pinabanal,
Ng Salita ng Diyos;
Ang kanyang nilalaman
Ay si Kristong lubos;
Pati kanyang ugali
Katulad ni Kristo;
Lahat ng katunggali
Kanyang napasuko.
3. Ang kanyang sinaligan
Ay si Hesu-Kristo,
Lahat ng kanyang sangkap,
Walang makamundo,
Bawa't sa kanyang sangkap,
Bahagi'y Kalbaryo;
Upang sa pagkabuhay
Sila'y maitayo.
4a. Isang Diyos, isang Poon,
Espiritu Isa,
At iisang Katawan,
Pananalig isa,
Saka isang bautismo
At isang pag-asa,
Ang kanyang diwa't buod,
Walang hindi isa.
4b. Ang Diyos na tatlo-isa
Nasa loob nila,
Upang lahat ay maging
Katawang iisa,
Dahil sa pananalig
Nagkabuklod sila,
Sa pagbalik ni Hesus,
Sila'y umaasa.
5. Ang kanyang mga sangkap
Sa tanan nagmula,
Walang lipi at bansa,
Mataas at aba,
Ni malaya't alipin,
Ni Hentil at Hudyo
Tangi lamang si Kristo,
Ang Siyang "bagong tao."
6. Isa sa sansinukob,
Tanging iisa siya,
Nguni't sa pagkahayag
Bawa't pook isa,
Pamahalaa'y lokal,
Kay Kristo managot,
Ang pagsasalamuha
Ay pansansinukob.
7. Si Kristo ang Ilawan,
Ilaw ang Diyos banal,
Patungan-ng-ilawan,
Ang ekklesia lokal.
Lokal niyang pagtitipon,
Tinutulad nito
Ang Bagong Herusalem
Sa bawa't aspekto.

E825
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Church of God, beloved and chosen,
Church of Christ for whom He died,
Claim thy gifts and praise the Giver,
Ye are washed and sanctified.
Sanctified by God the Father,
And by Jesus Christ His Son,
And by God the Holy Spirit,
Holy, Holy, Three in One.
2. By His will He sanctifieth,
By the Spirit's power within;
By the loving hand that chasteneth
Fruits of righteousness to win;
By His truth and by His promise,
By the Word, His gift unpriced,
By His own blood, and by union
With the risen life of Christ.
3. Holiness by faith in Jesus,
Not by effort of thine own,
Sin's dominion crushed and broken
By the power of grace alone,
Christ, the holiness within thee,
His own beauty on thy brow:
This shall be thy pilgrim brightness,
This thy blessed portion now.
4. He will sanctify thee wholly:
Body, spirit, soul shall be
Blameless till thy Savior's coming
In His glorious majesty!
He hath perfected forever
Those whom He hath sanctified:
Spotless, glorious, and holy,
Is the Church, His chosen Bride.
THE CHURCH — HER GENERAL DEFINITION
E826
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. I saw great throngs — each was a brother dear,
Linked with each other in one Body here;
Each in close union with the living Head,
The witness-folk, by Jesus' Spirit led.
2. At every time, in every clime I found
Those, not with words to Christ, but Spirit bound.
He strengthens them with might each day, each hour;
Through them true works divine are wrought in power.
3. This is the Church the Spirit hath begot,
Elect from every people, Christ their lot.
They follow where His shepherd-staff doth lead;
The members of this host are blessed indeed.
4. And when on earth they meet His death to show,
To Him their vows of love they oft renew.
Some little flock will gather there or here;
Christ, Head of all, to every soul most near.
5. This is the temple which our Lord approves,
The Church which truly honors Him and loves,
Whose sacrifice is on the altar bound;
She soon in glory will His throne surround.
THE CHURCH — HER GENERAL DEFINITION
E827
<IP_ADDRESS>.(T)
1. I have found life's Giver, and the Prince of Life;
He has quenched my thirst, and vanquished all my strife.
He, my living bread, became my daily meat;
Death has died in me, Life's triumph is complete.
2. In the Church, what glory! Far horizons glow!
And His Name all radiant on each brow doth show.
Christ doth breathe upon her, He's her living Rock,
Shepherd of His sheep all gathered in one flock.
3. There one holy flame doth burn within each breast;
By one blood redeemed, in Christ they find their rest.
All their thirst He quenches from one living stream;
They in adoration lowly worship Him.
4. There as Bread of life faint souls He ever feeds;
There each hungry soul may take whate'er he needs.
Lovingly He draws each soul that truly lives,
And in bread and wine Himself to them He gives.
5. Gone is all the earth-taint thru abounding grace;
Hear the song of triumph from the ransomed race.
All in glory shining, glory not their own,
Blended into oneness, they approach the throne.
THE CHURCH — HER GENERAL DEFINITION
E828
<IP_ADDRESS>.10.10.
1. The "churches" here below, so narrow bound,
Reach not the hungry throngs which us surround;
They run partway with truth, but miss the goal.
Earth-vision blurred and dim, their eyes doth hold—
But broken gleams have they of radiance gold;
Too dazzling is the splendor of the whole.
2. Brothers with brothers have not all one heart,
In wrath they turn away and walk apart,
Who from one stream of life had common birth.
What fight for forms! O'er doctrines what vain strife!
Instead together sharing God's one life,
Who worshipped is by heaven and by earth.
3. "Where is the truth?" I asked; for this I longed:
None answered right 'mid all the answering throng;
For ever side by side lay light and shade.
"Where is," I cried, "the one communion pure?
Where is the Church in which, clear-traced and sure,
The Spirit's very likeness is portrayed?"
4. So sought I long, and hopeless was my quest;
These eyes grew dim and blind and found no rest,
Till God's touch opened them, and I was freed.
I found the Spirit's Church in souls made one
In this, that they in troth to Christ had come—
His Bride, to follow where the cross may lead.
5. Thus when I see this small world's narrow thought,
Behold the brother not with brother brought,
Yet serving Christ — as each one deemeth right—
Ah, then a voice from realms of glory calls,
Where the last veil is rent and earthward falls,
And where God's love, eternal, burneth bright.
6. No more we put that query without end,
To which self-chosen church our feet did trend—
What doctrines we believed, what sacred rites.
In Christ we were in bonds that nought could break;
Who, by His cross and death, do all forsake,
Such as were far asunder He unites.
7. No longer does one heed mere formal phrase,
Or seek for others' creeds through winding maze,
For in Himself was truth made manifest.
And out of every tongue and every land
He formed one Church to meet His own demand—
His Body, where His fulness is expressed.
THE CHURCH — HER COURSE
E829*
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. The Church's seed is nought but Christ Himself
Sown into human hearts as life, thereby
Growing as wheat, producing flour fine
For bread both God and man to satisfy.
2. But Satan hath the false believers sown
Among the saints as tares among the wheat,
To bring confusion and to hinder growth
That they may not fulfill God's plan complete.
3. The Church's life just as the herb must be,
Grown out of Christ, who is the mustard seed;
Hidden and transient, little on the earth,
But good for food the hungry ones to feed.
4. But Satan came and made the little herb
To change its nature and to change its form,
That fully grown it did a tree become
Where many evil ones may lodge and swarm.
5. Satan has also used the fallen "church"
Evil and heathen practice to include,
As leaven mingled with the meal of wheat,
Thus to corrupt its purity as food.
6. But Christ as life would so transform the saints
That they may be as pearl and precious stone,
As the materials suitable to build
Into His Church to make His Kingdom known.
7. Such an assembly grown in Christ as life,
Transformed and built with Christ in them annealed,
Is as the goodly pearl for preciousness
And as the treasure hidden in the field.
8. Lord, separate us from the devil's "tares,"
Each one deliver from the monstrous "tree,"
From all the "leaven" may Thou purify,
That we may be as food to man and Thee.
9. Cause us to grow in life divine each day
That we may be transformed and built by Thee
Into a body to express Thyself,
That Thou in us Thy Church and Kingdom see.

THE CHURCH — HER FAITH

<IP_ADDRESS>.8.8.
1. Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
2. Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
And blest would be their children's fate,
If they, like them should die for thee:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
3. Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall then indeed be free.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
4. Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
ANG EKKLESIA — KANYANG PANANAMPALATAYA
T830 (E830)
1. Panalig ng mga ama
Buháy sa gitna ng dusa,
Maging apoy man o tabak,
Panampalataya'y tiyak.
Puso umapaw sa galak,
Hanggang mamatay ay tapat!
2. Kahit ama'y nabilanggo,
Malaya ang budhi't puso;
Tadhana ng mga supling,
Magiging pagpapala rin;
Basta sa panalig tapat,
Kamatayan ma'y kaharap.
3. Panalig ng mga ama,
Matamo lahat ng bansa;
Mula Diyos katotohanan,
Tao'y 'bigyang kalayaan.
Panampalatayang banal,
Tapat hanggang kamatayan.
4. Panalig ng mga ama,
Tanang tao'y aming sinta,
Aming ipahahayag ka,
Sa salita man o gawa.
Hanggang kamatayan kami'y
Sa iyo maging tapat lagi!
THE CHURCH — HER UNITY
E831* (T831) (C-600)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.(I)
1. The unity of Church is but
The saints in oneness living;
The Spirit which indwelleth them
This oneness ever giving.
Thus it is realized and called
The unity of Spirit;
'Tis based upon the common faith
Which all the saints inherit.
2. This precious faith of all the saints,
Is constituted solely
Of Christ and His redemptive work,
Which are unique and holy.
In this the saints are truly one,
Together all agreeing,
And it is from this common faith
The Church came into being.
3. The Church within the universe
Is one as Christ's possession;
The Church must therefore locally
Be one in her expression;
For all her elements are one—
One God, one Lord, one Spirit,
One faith, baptism, Body too,
One hope all saints inherit.
4. This oneness is the Church's ground,
The ground of common standing,
The only ground of unity
The Spirit is demanding.
The Church in actual practise thus
May keep her vital union,
And her expressions locally
Be built up in communion.
5. Lord, help us ever strive to keep
This unity by taking
The Church's ground of unity,
The Body-life partaking,
That all Thy heart's profound desire
May fully be effected,
And God's eternal purpose may
Completely be perfected.
ANG EKKLESIA — KANYANG KAISAHAN
T831 (E831)
1. Pagkakai-sa ng Ekklesia'y
Sa isang pamumuhay;
Pagkakai-sa nilagak ng
'Spiritung nananahan.
Kaisahan ng 'Spiritu,
Mga banal, minana,
Batay sa pangkalahatang
Pananampalataya.
2. Binuo ni Kristo Hesus
Ang gawang mapanubos;
Mahalagang pananalig,
Banal at bukod-tangi.
Dito banal nagkaisa
Nagsang-ayunan sila,
Gayong panampalataya,
Napairal Ekklesia.
3. Sa sansinukob iisa,
Mana Niya'ng Ekklesia;
Dapat lokal na Ekklesia
Sa kahayaga'y isa;
Diyos, Poon, 'Spiritu'y isa—
Elemento'y iisa
Isang panalig, bautismo,
Katawan at pag-asa.
4. Isa sa lupang-batayan,
Batayang tinayuan,
Batayan ng kaisahan
Ang hiling ng 'Spiritu.
Sa pagkai-sa makagawa,
Nang tunay ang Ekklesia
Maitayong walang hadlang
Lokal Niyang kahayagan.
5. Poon, panatilihin Mo
Pagkai-sa sa 'spiritu;
Lupang-batayan tayuan,
Danasin ang Katawan.
Nang dakila Mong naisin,
Lubusan Mong tamuhin
Nang walang hanggang layon Niya.
Mai-sakatuparan na.
THE CHURCH — HER UNITY
E832* (T832) (C-601)
<IP_ADDRESS>.(T)
1. Christ the Son of God and His redemptive deed
Are the saving faith which is our only creed.
All the other doctrines do not faith comprise;
Christ, His work and person, only qualifies.
2. All the other teachings used improperly
Are the "winds of doctrine," spoiling unity:
Blowing saints away from Christ who is the Head,
Building not the Body, tearing down instead.
3. Thus we must relinquish doctrines of all kinds,
Only keep the faith that oneness we may find.
In the Lord the Spirit we are one indeed;
Just to keep this oneness is our only need.
4. Truth we must be holding, which is Christ Himself,
That we be delivered from the sects of self,
That in all things growing into Christ the Head,
Built will be the Body and to fulness led.
5. To the "unity of faith" we must attain,
All the "winds of doctrine" evermore disdain;
Holding Christ the Spirit, our reality,
For the Body's growing in its unity.

1. Kristo't Kanyang mapanubos na gawa
Nagligtas na pananampalataya,
Ibang doktrina'y wala na sa kredo;
Marapat gawa't persona ni Kristo.
2. Turong ginagamit nang hindi tama
"Doktrinang hangin" pagkai-sa sinira:
Banal hinipang palayo sa Ulo
Katawa'y sinira di itinayo.
3. Kaya bitiwan lahat ng doktrina,
Panghawakan kredo nang magkaisa.
Sa Pangino'ng 'Spiritu tayo'y isa;
Pagkai-sa lamang, iba'y bitiwan na.
4. Hawakan katotohanan — si Kristo,
Mapalaya sa mga sekta tayo,
Lumago tungo kay Kristo na Ulo,
Kapuspusan ng Katawan matamo.
5. "Pagkai-sa sa pananalig" abutin,
"Hangin ng pagtuturo" huwag pansinin;
Realidad nati'y Kristong 'Spiritu
Hawakan nang Katawa'y mapalago.

1. The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word:
From heav'n He came and sought her
To be His holy Bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
2. Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation,
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3.
4. Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
In love may dwell with Thee.

1. The chief Cornerstone Thou art, Lord,
Jewish builders did despise;
God by resurrection placed Thee,
Thou art precious in His eyes.
Through Thee we receive salvation,
And, together built by Thee,
Jews and Gentiles are Thy dwelling,
One new man, in harmony.
2. Thou too art the smitten Rock, Lord,
That man's thirst by Thee be filled,
That frail man may stand upon Thee,
But e'en more, God's house to build.
The Foundation Stone in Zion,
Tested and secure, Thou art;
And the Rock, the Church supporting,
Her foundation to impart.
3.
Thine authority possessing,
It doth bind and loose in Thee,
Bringing men into Thy kingdom,
Satan's captives setting free.
4. Living Stone of life art Thou, Lord,
Precious, chosen thus to be;
Living stones Thou too hast made us,
One in character with Thee.
Built together as a temple
That our God may dwell therein,
Thus we are a holy priesthood,
Offering sacrifice to Him.
5. Lord, Thou art the Son of David
That God's temple Thou may build;
King and Priest Thou art together,
That Thy calling be fulfilled.
As the King, for God Thou rulest,
Making men submit to Him;
As the Priest before God's presence,
Bringing men to enter in.
6. Thine authority doth issue
From the throne to render peace;
Fellowship is in the river
To supply and give increase.
When these, balanced, go together,
Then God's purpose is fulfilled;
King and Priest in Thee combining,
Thou God's dwelling place dost build.
7. Thou art God, yet flesh becamest,
God with man in Thee doth dwell;
Thou, the Temple for His glory,
God in Thee Himself doth tell.
Thus the Church too is the mingling
Into one of God and man;
So it is with every member
For the building of God's plan.
8. Thou, the everlasting Dwelling,
In all ages art our home;
We in Thee enjoy protection,
Living in Thyself alone.
Thou our Sanctuary art, Lord,
We and God abide in Thee;
Thou, God's presence art within us,
Where we worship ceaselessly.
9. Cornerstone, Foundation, Topstone,
Rock, and Church, and Living Stone,
Dwelling-place, and Sanctuary,
Builder too art Thou, we own.
Praise we give for what Thou art, Lord,
As Thy wondrousness we see!
Grant that we may be built up, Lord,
As the living stones in Thee.

Tunay naming Santuaryo;
Ikaw ang presensya ng Diyos,
Pagsamba nami'y lubos.

Nawa kaming batong-buháy,
Sa Iyo mai-tayong tunay.

1. On Christ, salvation rests secure;
The Rock of Ages must endure;
Nor can that faith be overthrown
Which rests upon the "Living Stone."
2. No other hope shall intervene;
To Him we look, on Him we lean;
Other foundations we disown,
And build on Christ, the "Living Stone."
3. In Him it is ordained to raise
A temple to Jehovah's praise,
Composed of all His saints, who own
No Savior but the "Living Stone."
4. View the vast building, see it rise:
The work how great! the plan how wise!
O wondrous fabric! pow'r unknown:
That rests it on the "Living Stone."

Stands the Church in heav'nly places,
Dreading not the storm or shock;
Built with life divine she ever
Stands against attack and mock.
3. Though the gates of Hades frustrate,
Yet the Church still stands for God,
Overcoming evil spirits
By her Lord's victorious blood;
And at Christ's return in triumph
All her foes will then be trod.

1. We praise Thee, Lord, for Thy great plan
That we Thy dwelling-place may be;
Thou live in us, we filled with Thee,
Thou in the Son expressed might be.
2. Though in Thine image made by Thee
And given Thine authority,
Yet we are only made of clay
Without a trace of divinity.
3. When we receive Thee as our life,
Thy nature we thru grace possess;
Mingled together, we with Thee
One Body glorious will express.
4. When flows Thy life thru all our souls,
Filling, renewing every part,
We will be pearls and precious stones,
Changed to Thine image, as Thou art.
5. But, Lord, we fully realize
These are not wrought men's praise to rouse,
But as material to be built
Together for Thy glorious house.
6. Here, Lord, we give ourselves to Thee;
Receive us into Thy wise hands;
Bend, break, and build together in Thee
To be the house to meet Thy demands.
7. Break all the natural life for us,
Deal Thou with each peculiar way,
That we no more independent be
But with all saints are one for aye.
8. Then we shall be Thy Bride beloved,
Together in Thy chamber abide,
Enjoy the fulness of Thy love.
How Thou wilt then be satisfied!

1. Thy blueprint, Lord, I treasure dear,
It shows Thy tabernacle real,
It tells how Thou wouldst have it built,
How Thou Thy glory wouldst reveal.
2. The ark's the center of the tent,
The tent is but its resting-place:
In it the ten commandments are,
And in the tent it ever stays.
3. The ark the God-man, Christ, displays—
God mixed with man, as gold, wood meet;
The law is God's expression full,
Which dwells in Christ the Son complete.
4. Thus Christ's the center of the Church,
Which is to Him a resting-place;
In Christ the Father ever dwells,
And in the Church, Christ's dwelling-place.
5. The tent's the increase of the ark,
Both are of wood with gold o'erlaid;
The Church the increase is of Christ,
God blent with man here too displayed.
6. The boards when joined support the tent
On silver sockets standing sure;
Gold overlaid, with golden rings
And interlocking bars, secure.
7. The Church is thus the gathered saints,
On Christ's redemption standing sure;
In life divine, by Spirit bound,
Together built and framed secure.
8. The tent's four-layered cover shows
The Christ of God in every phase;
God's glory thus is signified,
Covering His holy dwelling-place.
9. Covered by such a glorious Christ,
All saints together knit may be;
Enjoying all He is for them,
In Him they're builded gloriously.
10. The law is placed within the ark,
The ark within the tent doth rest;
So God in Christ within the Church
His wondrous glory manifests.

And a glorious builder too,
Molding for Thy vessel great,
Building with Thy house in view.
I am both a man of clay
And a new-made living stone,
That Thy vessel I may be
And the temple Thou wouldst own.

With Thy life as purest gold,
Unto precious stones conformed.
We shall, through Thy building work,
Then become Thy loving Bride,
In one Body joined to Thee,
That Thy heart be satisfied.
3. What Thy heart desires and loves
Are not precious stones alone,
But together these to build
For Thy glory, for Thy home.
Thou, the all-inclusive Christ,
Dost a builded Church require,
That Thy glorious riches may
Radiate their light entire.
4. Not the person spiritual
In an individual way,
But the corporate life expressed
Will Thy heart's desire display.
Members separate and detached
Ne'er express Thee perfectly,
But Thy Body tempered, built,
Ever shall Thy fulness be.
5. Build me, Lord, with other saints,
Independence ne'er allow,
But according to Thy plan
Fitly frame and join me now.

Nor in gifts would be my pride;
For Thy building I give all,

With the saints into Thy temple,
Where Thy glory we shall see.

From my independent ways,
That a dwelling place for Thee, Lord,

All Thy purpose to fulfill.

But submitting and accepting
Let the Body balance me;
Holding fast the Head, and growing
With His increase, in His way,
By the joints and bands supplying,
Knit together day by day.
4. By Thy Spirit daily strengthened
In the inner man with might,
I would know Thy love surpassing,
Know Thy breadth and length and height;
Ever of Thy riches taking,
Unto all Thy fulness filled,
Ever growing into manhood,

5. In God's house and in Thy Body
Builded up I long to be,

Ever praying in the spirit
I this office would attend.
3. Now the church is but the priesthood;
Thus the priesthood formed we need;
When the priests are knit together,
Then the church is built indeed.
All the building of the Body
On the priesthood doth depend;
Ever praying in the spirit
I this office would attend.
4. Through the church's degradation,
Saints this office desolate;
Through the weakness of their spirits
Preaching doth predominate.
All the building of the Body
On the priesthood doth depend;
Ever praying in the spirit
I this office would attend.
5. Most are leaning on the message
And the preaching emphasize,
Yet neglect the priestly praying
And their spirits' exercise.
All the building of the Body
On the priesthood doth depend;
Ever praying in the spirit
I this office would attend.
6. Deal with me and make me balanced,
As in preaching, so in prayer;
Leading others oft in praying,
As Thy Word I too declare.
All the building of the Body
On the priesthood doth depend;
Ever praying in the spirit
I this office would attend.
7. Only serving by our praying
Will our spirits mingled be;
Stressing prayer as much as preaching—
Thus the church is built for Thee.
All the building of the Body
On the priesthood doth depend;
Ever praying in the spirit
I this office would attend.

For God's building work today;

Is their work before the Lord;
In this fellowship divine
Saints are built in one accord.

7. When in prayer our spirits blend,
Then together built are we,
Then a priesthood we become,
Off'ring sacrifice to Thee.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,
Let the Lord flow thru in prayer,
Thus the building work is done.
8. Grant us grace, O Lord, that we
Treasure dear the priestly call;
In the spirit serve and pray,
That Thy church be built withal.
To the holiest often come,
In the spirit touch the throne,

1. O Lord, we have loved her fair beauty,
The house Thou hast chosen for Thee,
The courts where Thy gladness rejoiceth,
And where Thou delightest to be.
We love to be made the fair dwelling
Where God in His grace may abide;
We'd cast forth whatever may grieve Thee,
And welcome none other beside.
2. O blessed the grace that has made us
The home of the gladness of God,
The dwelling wherein Thou delightest,
The house Thou hast bought with Thy blood.
'Tis there that Thy joy overfloweth,
We feel it, we take of it there;
By all that Thou workest within us,
Thy temple is holy and fair.
3. The secret of that inner chamber,
Thy place is of heavenly rest;
The stillness of thoughts that adore Thee,
The shrine that Thou lovest the best.
The temple where Christ hath His dwelling
The souls He hath ransomed, forgiv'n;
The temple where I have my dwelling,
Is Christ in the glory of heav'n.

1. How lovely is Thy dwelling-place!
Within Thy courts I long to be;
Thy presence, Lord, my spirit craves,
For this my heart cries out to Thee.
2. At Thy burnt-offering altar, Lord,
And at Thine incense altar blest,
Even the sparrow finds a home,
And swallow there prepares her nest.
3. Men, as the sparrow, frail and small,
When living in Thy house find rest,
Relying on the altar's blood,
Enjoying there the incense blest.
4. How blessed are those men indeed!
Trusting in Thee they are made strong;
Highways to Zion in their hearts,
The way they care not, rough or long.
5. Passing the weeping valley they
Make it a place of springing wells;
The rain with blessings covers it
And in the way God's mercy tells.
6. From strength to strength they go, and all
Before the Lord in Zion meet;
Thus ever seeking Thine own self,
They need Thy care and grace replete.
7. Better a day within Thy courts
Than days a thousand I would tell;
I'd rather at Thy threshold stand
Than in the wicked's tents to dwell.
8. Thou art a sun, Thou art a shield,
Thou grace and glory wilt supply;
Thy presence and Thy very self
My need in fulness satisfy.
9. Not one good thing wilt Thou withhold
From those who walk in uprightness;
Bless'd is the man that trusts in Thee
With grace and glory measureless.

MEETINGS — FUNCTIONING
E867* (T867) (C-629)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. As members of the Body
Christ we would manifest,
Each learning how to function
His fulness to express;
We would not be spectators
But each as members move,
None bringing death or damage
But each our profit prove.
2. As in a team we'd never
Act independently,
But in coordination,
Each would dependent be;
Not acting by our choosing
But following the flow,
Distraction never bringing,
The Spirit's way we'd know.
3. On Christ we here would focus,
No other center make;
With Christ in sweet communion
His riches to partake.
He is our Head and content,
His Body we express;
Whate'er we do while meeting
Himself must manifest.
4. Built up in love together,
Not one would criticize;
To perfect one another,
We all would exercise.
Each one from self delivered,
The natural life forsakes;
In grace each trained in spirit
The Body-life partakes.

Mag-isa huwag gawin,
Umaasa ang dapat,
Pagtugma-tugmain;
Iwaksi pagpipili,
Ang daloy ay sundin,
Daan ng Espiritu
Ay ating alamin.
3. Tuon nati'y si Kristo,
Walang ibang sentro;
Salamuha kay Kristo,
Yaman makasalo.
Siya'y Ulo't nilalaman,
Ihayag Katawan;
Sa 'ting pulong anuman,
Siya ang patunayan.
4. Walang magpipintasan,
Kundi magmahalan;
Lahat ay mangag-aral,
Na mangagpasakdal.
Espiritu'y sanayin
Sa buhay-Katawan;
Buhay likas iwaksi,
Maging ang sarili.

We sing again to thank Thee from our heart,
For Thy dear presence and refreshing grace,
Which Thou so richly didst to us impart.
2. Though now the meeting's over, in Thy grace,
Thy presence never will from us depart;
But as the Spirit Thy sustaining strength
Thou wouldst in love unceasingly impart.

To bear with us the burden on our heart,
That every moment we Thyself enjoy,
Till in the coming meeting we take part.

For Thy dear presence and Thy living word;
We are attracted by Thy preciousness,
Our hearts incline to Thee through what we've heard.

By it we're nourished, growing, Lord, in Thee;
Thus to Thine image we may be transformed,
With Thy full measure to maturity.
3. Impart Thyself to us, Lord, more and more,
And make us in the spirit walk and move,
That we be kept in fellowship with Thee,
Until we meet again, Thy grace to prove.

Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,

Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
Stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not, it must not suffer loss.
3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armor,
And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
Stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not, it must not suffer loss.
4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long:
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor's song;
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He, with the King of glory,
Shall reign eternally.
Stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not, it must not suffer loss.

'Gainst the Church prevail;

Which can never fail.

Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,

Join our happy throng;
