Hymn 739  

SUBJECT: VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE INNER LIFE—THE INNER KNOWLEDGE
METER: 10.10.10.10.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Edward J. Hopkins

1In those regenerated by the Lord
 There is an inner knowledge bountiful;
 Thus we the outward teachings do not need,
 But God we inwardly may know in full.
2Eternal life, the highest and the best,
 Possesses full divine capacity,
 That by this life God’s knowledge we may have
 More than by knowledge given outwardly.
3The law of life is put within our mind
 And on our heart ‘tis written sovereignly,
 Inwardly ruling us that God we know
 More than by teachings given outwardly.
4Holy anointing in our spirit dwells,
 Showing the things of God to mind and heart;
 By this anointing we God’s knowledge have
 More than man’s teachings can to us impart.
5We have the triune God indwelling us,
 Living and acting, working all the time,
 That by the inner sense we have of Him
 God we may know in magnitude sublime.
6This inner knowledge obviates the need
 Of outward knowledge, human eloquence,
 But in the spirit we must ever live
 And walk according to the inner sense.
7The more we live in Christ, the life divine,
 And by the inner consciousness behave,
 The more we’ll have the inward knowledge true,
 And on our heart God will His Son engrave.
8’Tis by this living inward knowledge gained
 That fellowship with God in life we hold;
 ’Tis by this hidden knowledge thus obtained
 God unto us His fulness doth unfold.
