Hymn 976  

SUBJECT: ULTIMATE MANIFESTATION—THE HOLY CITY
METER: 8.7.8.7.D. with chorus.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Herbert H. Booth

1Lord Jesus, Thy redeemed ones
  Are Thy Body and Thy Bride;
 As Thy fulness, Thine expression,
  In her Thou art glorified.
 Thou, her all in all forever,
  She Thy riches doth declare;
 Thou dost fully saturate her
  And Thy glory with her share.
Chorus  
  Lo, the holy city,
  Full of God’s bright glory!
  It is God’s complete expression
  In humanity.
2God with man completely blended,
  Mystery of godliness.
 God in glory, full, resplendent,
  Man, His dwelling, doth express.
 ’Tis a vessel universal
  All God’s fulness to express;
 All His beauty manifesting,
  Mingled with His holiness.
3’Tis a living composition
  Of the saints He hath transformed;
 As the pearls and stones most precious,
  To His image they’re conformed:
 From the throne of God, its center,
  Flows the living water free;
 Christ the tree of life doth flourish,
  Bearing fruit abundantly.
4’Tis th’ eternal golden lampstand,
  Holding Christ, the lamp of light;
 God in Christ the light of glory
  As the Spirit shineth bright!
 ’Tis the ultimate expression-
  Man in God and God in man;
 ’Tis their mutual habitation,
  Goal of God’s eternal plan.
