1 | O how glorious! O how holy! |
| | God is the eternal life! |
| Full, unlimited, and powrful, |
| | Pure, and merciful, and bright! |
| In this life are all His riches, |
| | All His nature, love and light. |
2 | O how loving! O how gracious! |
| | God Himself is life to man! |
| He in man hath made a spirit |
| | That He might fulfill His plan. |
| Tis His hearts delight and longing |
| | Eer to be received by man. |
3 | O what love and grace unbounded! |
| | God as life to man doth flow! |
| He no more is hid in secret |
| | But Himself to man doth show, |
| First in flesh and then as Spirit |
| | That His life all men may know. |
4 | How approachable! How near us! |
| | God in Christ our life to be! |
| Christ is God in flesh incarnate, |
| | Manifest for man to see. |
| Died and risen, now He enters |
| | Into man, his life to be. |
|
5 | O what wonder! As the Spirit |
| | God as life to man is shown! |
| Tis His other transformation, |
| | He as Spirit thus is known; |
| Men convicting and inspiring, |
| | He within them makes His home. |
6 | O how glorious! O how precious! |
| | Thus the triune God to know! |
| First the Father in the Son came, |
| | Now the Son as Spirit flows. |
| When in man the Spirit enters |
| | God as life He doth bestow. |
7 | How mysterious, yet how real! |
| | God Himself now flows in me! |
| In my heart, with me in oneness, |
| | He has come my life to be. |
| Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
| | I will praise unceasingly! |
