Hymn 743  

SUBJECT: VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE INNER LIFE—THE NEW HEART AND THE NEW SPIRIT
METER: 8.7.8.7.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: John Stainer

1God created us His vessels
  His expression to achieve;
 Thus He made a heart to love Him
  And a spirit to receive.
2With our heart we have to love Him,
  With our spirit Him possess
 As our life, of Him partaking,
  That Himself we may express.
3Satan has our heart corrupted,
  To our spirit death did give,
 That the Lord we should not contact
  But by self attempt to live.
4Thus the Lord in His salvation
  Heart and spirit has renewed
 To recover our receiving
  And our loving aptitude.
5It is by our heart’s renewal
  We may God in love pursue,
 And in newness of the spirit
  We may contact God anew.
6Ever true and pure and single
  To the Lord our heart must be,
 Poor in spirit, ever seeking
  God to contact constantly.
7Keep our heart, Lord, in love’s freshness,
  And our spirit strengthen more,
 That in newness of the spirit
  We may touch Thee o’er and o’er.
