Hymn 492  

SUBJECT: EXPERIENCE OF CHRIST—IN THE SPIRIT
METER: 8.8.8.8.
AUTHOR: Watchman Nee
COMPOSER: John L. Hatton

1In all thy work, O Lord, Thou didst
 At Calv’ry’s cross once come to rest;
 Yet Thou art working still today,
 But in another form expressed.
2Thy saving pow’r Thou still dost show;
 Thou still dost speak, enlighten, guide;
 Thou and the Spirit in one stream
 Sweep many in Thy living tide.
3Through Him Thy power’s not withheld;
 Through Him Thy working does not cease;
 Thou still dost comfort and command,
 Encourage, strengthen, and release.
4Since Thou art with the Spirit one
 His coming means that Thou hast come,
 And His indwelling is Thine own,
 Since Thou the Spirit hast become.
5He executes within my heart
 All Thy desires and Thy demands,
 As for the Father here on earth
 Thou hast performed all His commands.
6By knowing Him we know Thyself;
 Obeying Him we Thee obey;
 Allowing Him ourselves to fill,
 We’re filled with Thee, O wondrous way!
7Thou art not far away in heav’n,
 Leaving us here alone, apart;
 But Thou art still on earth; how grand!
 Thou livest right within my heart.
