SUBJECT: PRAISE OF THE LORD—HIS ALL-INCLUSIVENESS
METER: 8.7.8.7.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Wolfgang A. Mozart, arranged by Hubert P. Main

1Lord, the ancient types and symbols
  As our all Thyself portrayed;
 As was shadowed in those figures,
  Real to us Thou now art made.
 Contemplating such a picture,
  As we on its wonders gaze,
 How we marvel at Thy riches
  And our song of worship raise.
2Lord, Thou art our true Passover,
  God passed over us thru Thee;
 By Thyself and Thy redemption
  We with God have harmony.
 Thou, the Lamb of God, redeemedst us
  With Thyself and with Thy blood;
 We apply Thy blood, our ransom,
  Eating Thee, our real food.
3Lord, Thou art the Bread from heaven,
  The unleavened Bread of life;
 Eating Thee, with Thee we mingle,
  Ceasing from our sin and strife.
 Lamb and Bread are both Thy figures,
  Showing Thou art life to us;
 Feasting on Thee at Thy table,
  We enjoy Thy riches thus.
4Lord, Thou art the Heav’nly Manna,
  As our daily food supply;
 Strengthening and energizing,
  All our need to satisfy.
 Living Rock Thou also art, Lord,
  Cleft for us with life to flow;
 Drinking of this living water,
  Thirst is quenched, Thy life we know.
5Lord, Thou art the Land of Canaan-
  Elevated, rich and good,
 Flowing with both milk and honey
  In a glorious plenitude.
 By Thy surplus God we worship,
  In Thy fellowship we move;
 Thus in love we’re joined together
  And God’s building we will prove.
