Hymn 13  

SUBJECT: WORSHIP OF THE FATHER—AS LOVE AND LIGHT
METER: 8.7.8.7. with chorus.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Silas J. Vail

1Thou art love-and Thou art light, Lord,
  In the Son as life Thou art;
 Love expressing, light illum’ning,
  Thou dost life to us impart.
Chorus  
  Thou art love! Thou art light!
   In the Son as life Thou art;
  Love expressing, light illum’ning
   Thou dost life to us impart.
2Love bespeaks Thy very being,
  What Thou dost is shown by light;
 Love is inward, light is outward,
  Love accompanies the light.
3Love by grace is manifested,
  And the light by truth is shown;
 By Thy love we may enjoy Thee;
  By Thy light Thou, Lord, art known.
4Thru Thy love, which led to Calvary,
  We receive the life of God;
 Light our understanding opens,
  That we may apply the blood.
5Thru Thy love, as life Thou enter’st
  Fellowship with Thee to give;
 Thru Thy light we take Thy cleansing
  And in fellowship may live.
6By the light and blood which cleanses,
  The anointing we shall know;
 Then the life of love Thine essence,
  More and more in us will flow.
7By Thy love we are Thy children,
  Abba Father calling Thee;
 Light disperses all our darkness,
  Till, like Him, Thy Son, we see.
8O what grace! O what truth!
  Love is seen and light is shown!
 We would praise Thee never ceasing,
  Thou by love and light art known!
