| | God we enjoy in Thee; |
| His truth in Thee is also found, |
| | His full reality. |

| | Which fills from grace to grace; |
| In Thee with God were 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. |
