1 | Christ is the testimony true |
| Of God in essence and in deed; |
| Gods glory He has fully shown, |
| And we in Him Gods nature read. |
2 | His testimony is more full |
| Than was the witness of the law, |
| Which only God in letter showed, |
| And not in endless living powr. |
3 | The fulness of the Godhead dwells |
| In Him, His very element; |
| Gods full embodiment is He- |
| A vessel, God the resident. |
4 | The Father God He manifests; |
| Gods glorious features He displays; |
| In Him consummately are seen |
| The Fathers heart and all His ways. |
5 | Christ as the Spirit now has come |
| That He our portion be foreer; |
| In spirit we partake of Him |
| And all Gods being fully share. |
