Hymn 542  

SUBJECT: EXPERIENCE OF CHRIST—HIS RICHES
METER: 8.7.8.7.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: John R. Sweney

1O the riches of my Savior,
  So unsearchable, immense;
 All the fulness of the Godhead
  I may now experience.
Chorus  
  O the riches, O the riches,
   Christ my Savior has for me!
  How unsearchable their measure,
   Yet my full reality!
2O the riches of my Savior,
  All-embracing: life and light,
 Wisdom, power, healing, comfort,
  Treasures rich of God’s delight;
3God’s redemption, full salvation,
  And His resurrection pow’r,
 Sanctifying, glorifying,
  All transcending every hour!
4O the riches of my Savior-
  Nothing less than God as all!
 All His person and possessions,
  Now my spirit doth enthrall.
5O the riches of my Savior!
  Who can know their breadth and length,
 Or their depth and height unmeasured,
  Yet they are my joy and strength.
6May I know these boundless riches,
  Christ experience in full;
 And with others may I share them
  In their content bountiful.
