Hymn 866  

SUBJECT: MEETINGS—EXERCISING THE SPIRIT
METER: 6.5.6.5.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Harold Green

1Exercise the spirit!
 Human thought reject;
 Meet with one another,
 Body life respect.
2Exercise the spirit!
 All the forms forsake;
 Share with one another,
 Each of Christ partake.
3Exercise the spirit!
 Natural sense renounce;
 Serve with one another,
 Christ the Lord announce.
4Exercise the spirit!
 Soulish life deny;
 Helping one another,
 On the Lord rely.
5Freed within the spirit
 From self-righteousness,
 From self-condemnation
 And self-consciousness.
6Freed within the spirit
 From self-will and pride,
 From self-love and glory,
 All to override.
7Exercise the spirit,
 Victory to claim
 By the blood which cleanses
 And the might Name.
8Exercise the spirit
 Thus to touch the Lord;
 Ever by the spirit
 Take Him thru His Word.
9It is by the spirit
 Christ is testified;
 It is by the spirit
 Man is satisfied.
10Exercise the spirit!
 This is what we need!
 Exercise the spirit!
 May the Lord so lead!
