SUBJECT: FULNESS OF THE SPIRIT—THE BAPTISM
METER: 8.7.8.7.8.7.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: (1) Henry T. Smart (2) H. J. Gauntlett

1Christ the Savior hath ascended
  To the heavens far above,
 Crowned with glory and with honor
  By the Father God in love;
 He hath made Him Head of all things,
  His supremacy to prove.
2From this Christ to God ascended
  Hath the Spirit been outpoured,
 Poured upon the Church, His Body,
  That His members be empow’red;
 Thus the Lord of all in heaven
  Thru His Church will be adored.
3In the flesh by incarnation,
  Into man He God hath brought;
 By His death and resurrection,
  Into God He man hath brought;
 God and man together mingled,
  In Himself is fully wrought.
4Now in heaven by ascension
  He is seated on the throne;
 All the lordship, all the headship,
  He Himself doth fully own;
 And by pouring out His Spirit,
  He as such might be made known.
5By this outpour, His descension
  On the Church was realized;
 ’Tis by this, that in His Spirit
  All the Church He hath baptized;
 Thus the baptism of the Spirit
  Was forever actualized.
6Hallelujah, ‘tis accomplished,
  And accomplished once for all!
 Hallelujah, we’re included,
  All included, great or small!
 Praise Him, He hath sent the Spirit
  And baptized the Church withal!
